AN ETHNIZED ARM
 
3 Attachment(s)
On the basis that a mass produced weapon would fit in this Forum if it was subject to an ethnographic intervention during its circumstancial existence, i would like to show this piece, which i consider a good example of such fusion.
A British "Tower" percussion musket, not yet identified in detail, transformed into an African hunting gun, with a carving work reflecting a very basic handcraft resource ... result of a Native exercize, i would say ?!
Opinnions wellcome

Very interesting. I would say this was East African, Tanzania or kenya.
