I am in the midst of getting the stain right on this twistcore horn jungayyan. Will get some better pictures soon.
![]() But my new stand also works on Massai sword ![]() And spear ![]() And just teeth, but I suspect the Igbo guy is a little nervous. I will let him hold the spear. ![]() |

Your Maasai sword is probably Nandi or Tuta (cant see it that well) because of the pommel and hilt rings.
Maasai hilts are generally round with twine patterns under oxtail. One way of identifying it as Tuta, is the diamond cross section hammered flat on the bolo slashing end and what is the length? Tuta swords are commonly much shorter than other East African blades. |

Here is a closeup of the hilt. I really appreciate your comments. I want to catalog it correctly. Did you notice,... umh....ANYTHING else in the pictures? Something a little over nine feet long? |
