Description: This item was from the collection of the noted adventurer, collector, and democracy advocate Christian Armstrong (1962 – 2014) of Northern California. He was known to collect via trips to Burma, Thailand, and Cambodia. Southeast Asia is therefore deduced to be the most likely source of this excellent antique tool, although I haven’t located any similar examples, and the item could be from another locale.
