Description from the seller
Ancient and original Brazilian wooden head-splitter, 78 cm long… a traditional weapon tied to the practice of headhunting… The squared, truncated profile serves to protect the heavy blade, biased forward, designed specifically to deliver clean, powerful cutting blows… The handle cover in plant fiber is not merely decorative, but ensures a firm, non-slip grip, essential for a weapon of impact. In the richer ceremonial versions, the pendants and decorations symbolized the warrior's status or the victories achieved in battle… fast and well-protected shipping
