Categories:
CURRENCY THROWING KNIFE. Fulani people, Cameroon or Nigeria. This is an F-form throwing knife that has been altered to be non-functional as a weapon by wrapping the tip of the point with an iron band and cutting a notch in the lower branch which is curved down and blunt. It is also heavier than a typical throwing knife and the edges are not sharp. One side of the shaft and the branch is decorated with engraved chevron designs. All of these features indicate that this object was created for use as currency rather than as a weapon. The handle is wrapped in woven raffia. Dated to mid-1800s. On custom base. Iron, raffia. H 22in.
