AFRICAN DAGGER WITH ORNATELY CARVED SCABBARD

Click above image for full size photos below.

9-3/4" crudely forged blade. Nicely carved wooden grip in the form of two people, on atop the other, with a 3rd person (child?) on the back of the upper figure. Dark hardwood scabbard. Opening is a large animal with a seated man on its head and a series of carved human figures around its pedestal. Remainder of scabbard is decorated with incised flowers and a final human carved at the tip. Scabbard is 20-1/2" long, much longer than needed for the blade, and obviously made to demonstrate the skill of the individual who carved it. Great decorator and work of art.  Condition: 8  Weight: 0.70 lbs
