Not Your Typical Flyssa Dagger

Last weekend in Baltimore I was lucky enough to acquire this beautifully mounted flyssa dagger from a friend. Not that I have seen thousands, but I think this is certainly the best I have ever seen, with a beautifully crafted scabbard of silver alloy and a finely patinated wooden hilt set with small panels of ivory and turquoise. The primitive nature of the thing only shows in how the tang is so crudely exposed.

Comments welcomed.
