19th C. Meiji Era Japanese Bone Mounted Tanto Dagger - 19th C. Meiji Era Japanese Bone Mounted Tanto Dagger with Carved Geishas and Monkeys. An unusual piece made in the late 1800s probably for European trade, in its ox bone mounts with well carved images of Geishas and Monkeys in the garden. With a commercial low quality blade never meant for any serious combat. Nice 19th century Japanese Artwork piece, but not a weapon. Overall length: 15”. Blade length: 8 1/2”.
