Ritual Flaying Knife
The Ritual Flaying Knife by an unknown artist features a curved, single-edged blade resembling a hook with the cutting edge on the outside. The blade is predominantly gray with spots of wear and tear, and there are traces of gold along the back edge near the handle. The handle is adorned with intricate gold embellishments featuring a base that flairs out and appears to have flames or waves, supporting a bulbous middle section. Above this, a short stem leads to a decorative piece with a shape resembling a crown or a bird. The background is a gradient gray.
