Maasai ?

This is another Prague find (but many years ago). Is it real Maasai ? I always thought they used leather covered hilts...
thanks, Martin

The hilt is made of horn

It is a seme from the Masai. As far as i know the hilt is wood covered with leather. Yours is horn. Nice find.
The more knowledgeable members will jump in on this one, i think
