Three 19th C. Java Iron & Silver Betel Nut Cutters

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $400**

Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Java, ca. 19th century CE. A collection of 3 betel nut cutters, each cast from iron in the shape of a mythical dragon creature known as a makara- and 2 are further embellished with light silver inlays. The cutter is hinged at the head - the upper half is the blade and the lower stabilizes the nut- and two handles taper outwards. These unusual tools were used for cutting open the betel nut (areca nut). Chewing on this nut is addictive, yielding similar effects to chewing tobacco, and this practice was immensely popular from the 17th century to 19th century in India, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Africa. Fancy nut crackers were elegant status symbols but at the same time symbolized tooth loss and gum decay from long term betel use - these tools became necessary for those who could no longer chew the nut on their own! Size: 8.5" L x 3.25" W (21.6 cm x 8.3 cm)
