Item Details
Description
Among the most iconic of all antique weapons. Forged iron, 17 3/8” height, with three primary blades angled from the central stalk producing a whirling “buzz saw” effect when thrown and capable of bringing an enemy down. Those so wounded, were taken for human consumption while the more fit were marched to the East Coast market for sale to the Arabic world. See African Arms and Armour, Spring, p.81 for a photo of a Azande warrior preparing to throw an identical example. So iconic, that it was this weapon shown on the spine of the dust jacket for Stone’s monumental “Glossary”.
