Three daggers with each of their blades finely decorated, adjoin into a crocodile skin sheath. The handle of the central dagger is wood with the two on either side made from beautifully curved animal horns. At the lower section of the sheath are three crocodile claws. The knife is impressive in its size, the largest I have seem of this type, whilst holding a wonderful abstract figurative form.
Estimated Period: Late 19th Century to Early 20th Century
