The ivory carving is a fairly common seen motif of a demon holding two Naga's.

Thank you Nathaniel for the educated comment! Do you able to recognize the two critters on the sides of the handle?

Hello Detlef,

Happy to contribute ☺️. Sorry I didn’t see your comment until now. I am nonsure 100% sure but I would say these appear to be some sort of leapard/ spotted jungle cat due to the spots and tail. 🐆
