Mauritania Tuareg Dagger.

Thanks guys,

I've seen elaborate brass/bronze work like this on daggers associated with Senegal and Mauritania as well.

The Tuareg point is interesting - as these differ quite a bit from the usual telek and other arm daggers.

Any chance of a photo of these in the "wild"? I don't recall ever seeing one.
