woven sjambok?
ran across this odd whip. twisted cord monkey fist wrapping over a non-magnetic heavy ball, flat cord or fibre basket-weaved shaft covering, small metal tip ferrule. feel like it may have a whalebone core. there is a slight bend and it is very 'whippy' and very springy. will not support any weight. 34 in. long. (photos attached)
only other similar was a silver hilted sjambok, made from an animal's streched male member, with the same tip and same length. photo attached at bottom.
comments welcome. any idea on the age?
