Asmat Indonesia Cassowary Bone Dagger (Pi Pisuwe).
Before Dutch colonization in the 1950s, the Asmat people carried these daggers, which were used exclusively for ritual killings. The pommels were often adorned with cassowary feathers, while the blades and handles featured carvings of human and animal figures. They were typically worn at the waist or secured in a special band on the upper arm.
