Another one was unearthed in my great unpack!
An all iron flail Wushu weapon from the 19th century. I've seen a few others, but they are not worked and finished as nicely as this one.
This one I've owned for a very long time. I don't even remember where I got it. The workmanship is wonderful and precise, each chain link is jointed and decoratively filed. The two end weights were sculpted beautifully.
It's an inch or two short of four feet long, with two leaf-like embellishments linked to each weight.
