Very nice example of an Ovambo Knife.The wood is light in colour, with age related smoothness.Pokerwork along the edges creates the colour contrast.The sheath has 3 openings cut into it where the blade is visible.Early collected, probably 1940's.

A little subtleness is better than a lot of force...
