African Throwing Knife

[Ibrahiim al Balooshi]

Sudanese Throwing Knife.
This iron weapon comes from along the Sudanese Nile. It was possibly meant for ceremonial use, but is suspected to have been produced for sale to foreigners as an early form of the tourist trade. It has similar handle and dots etc. See https://www.flickr.com/photos/mather...um/15319145753

Hi Ibrahiim,
Thanks for the info, this is one of the two places that I located a weapon similar in design and decoration to the one I own.
