Description: Korean Eunjangdo Silver Knife, Joseon Dynasty Eunjangdo, Korean woman's dagger and chopstick set beautifully designed with a deer under bamboo, symbols of a long and resilient life, and lotus blossoms, a symbol of purity. Eunjangdo was worn mostly by women of high rank as a chest pendant and a symbol of their social standing. This dagger also served as a tool to save women from personal humiliation or peril, not by attacking an assailant but by killing themselves, under the Confucian moral obligation of Korea 'to remain faithful to one's spouse'. The silver chopsticks were used to detect poison in food. They are adorned with a plum blossom, a symbol of courage. Size: 7 inches / 18 cm long.
