Hello David,
Your question is a little chicken or egg as to who influences who. The hilt on your telek is very typical of Nigerian/Hausa and some Cameroon daggers. I would have a wild guess that the settled areas with more resources for manufacture probably exert the strongest influence. This is just a guess but Taureg hilts are also found in use in Hausa and other areas. |
