Circumcision set

A set of instruments for performing a circumcision on a new born boy. It usually comprises a double-edged knife with a rounded end, a circumcision shield, a small receptacle or a bottle of healing powder and a bowl for the separated foreskin. The instruments are kept in an appropriate case. They are made mostly of silver, but sometimes also of silver-plated, coloured metals. The knife blade is made of steel, its handle of silver or of other materials, often polished agate
