Here some more detail pictures as requested:

The other side of the handle and blade have some damage - all pictures are from the good side. Stones look to be coral, handle some kind of ivory (not bone in my opinion). Metal is brass with remain of gilding? The sheath is leather covered wood, the wood is decorated which is visible in the leather and bound in the middle with brass wire - I really love the craftmanship in the sheath.
