For those interested in Amazon weapons and culture, I present this wonderful set for your interest. It accompanies a beautiful blow pipe that measures just over 83inch.

The dart arrangement is very interestingly secured within and they are needle sharp. The woven Kapok pouch is a delight to handle and remains full. The Piranha jaw bone attached is used to sharpen darts.

Thanks Gavin for posting.

We don't see much from the Amazon posted.

Looks like a small umbrella to me
Does it indeed open in order to get out the darts ?

Ps. no dark tips ? no poison used on these darts ?

Best regards,
Willem
