Description

A long wooden sword with a row of stout teeth along one edge and a leather loop at the grip end. Dark hardwood, worked smooth all round.

The form

The toothed sword goes back to a weapon type of the Pacific: in Kiribati shark teeth were bound into wooden strips, while the Maya and Mexico set obsidian into a wooden shaft. Here the teeth are carved from the same piece of wood — which makes this a replica, not a weapon. The teeth are rounded, not sharpened.

Honest placing

There is no signature, no date, no stated origin. What can be said: cleanly carved, even spacing of the teeth, the wood thoroughly seasoned. A wall piece with presence — not an ethnographic original.

Key facts

  • Long wooden sword, dark hardwood
  • Teeth carved from the piece, rounded
  • Leather loop at the grip end
  • Replica, not a weapon
  • No signature or date

Condition

Good. All teeth present, none broken. The surface is matt, with fine drying cracks along the grain. The leather loop is supple and holds.
