Default African dagger Somali / Danakil?
I am particularly interested in the wirework. This is quite fragile and it is unusual to see an older piece with it still intact. Possibly early 20th century.

Mostly have seen this on older Somali and Danakil spears. Blade has probably been over-cleaned by a previous owner.

As this is not my area of expertise, I would appreciate opinions from some of the Forum members who know African.
