Unusual arm dagger, from where?
2 Attachment(s)
Just have bought one more arm dagger, nothing spectacular but think that it will look after some cleaning nice. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Dagg...vip=true&rt=nc
All comments are welcome, special from which tribe this dagger coming and an estimated age. |
Tebu tribe. :)

Have received the dagger, it has a steel pommel so Lew is correct. it is rather small and the arm loop just will fit at a child arm so I think it's made for a young boy. Here some fast taken pictures after cleaning.

Nice piece, while it conforms to the Tebu style I would just note that in the 20th century this has become a very general Sahel style and can be observed outside the Tebu people group. :)
