Hi , i was in Cape cod and I found this thing. I thinkits a tebutje..i have no clue, can anyone help me find out what it is.. its like 4 feet long, its made of light wood, its handel is woven and it has 4 rows or teeth (shark) going down the length or the pole and the teeth are attached with strings and holes in the teeth and little peices of wood. It looks really old like maby 200 years, the teeth are dusty, i found it in cape cod. Do you have advice what to do with it? thanks so much u guys are so smart

HI Brittany,

Welcome!

Unfortunately, the picture didn't transfer. I'd be thrilled if you could try again.

We had a similar query about a "tebutje" last year (the name is inaccurate. Reportedly, the native term is "te unun" with "te" equivalent to the english "the"). Here is the link to that discussion. Oddly enough, the one linked to was found in a house south of Boston. I'm not sure what the story is about Massachusetts and teununs in the basement, but it's making me want to check the basement of my friend's house when I visit him in Boston in a few weeks.

Some of us here are afficionados of these neat implements, although I personally don't own one.

Looking forward to seeing the pics!

Fearn
