Old Brass Areca Nut Cutter

This is a rare brass nut cracker. Betel nut eating is a popular behavior in many parts of South Asia. Areca nut slices would be wrapped in betel leaves and swallowed, providing a slight stimulant effect. Tobacco and slaked lime were sometimes added to the betel nut mixture to help release the nut's alkaloid.
