Could be from Moghul or even further a feild...
Comments on origin, symbols and age welcome

Salaams Al Shamal ~ Something tells me this belonged to a lady. It is very ornate, strangely complicated and well...like most women I know; totally impossible !!

Ya, its a concealed self defence weapon for women/ladies based on a combination of the katar knife and betel nut cracker.
