Chinese eating set trousse

This chinese eating set trousse comprises a small knife and two chopsticks. This type of eating set came from Mongolia, being used by horsemen, and lately became very common in China, up to the end of the 19th century when it was part of most men dress up.

The knife scales, the chopsticks and the scabbard are made of bone. Bronze fitings on the scabbard.
