Dagger - Niger (No Reserve Price)

The Tebu dagger is a traditional weapon of the Tebu people, who are native to the Sahara region, particularly in Chad, Niger, and southern Libya. It is recognizable by its narrow, triangular blade and the distinctive leather-wrapped sheath. The dagger served both as a practical tool for daily life in the desert and as a symbol of status and identity. Often worn on the belt, it was appreciated not only for its usefulness but also for its craftsmanship, with handles made of wood, horn, or metal, decorated with simple geometric motifs. Today, Tebu daggers are valued as authentic testimonies of Saharan nomadic culture and their craftsmanship.
