A NICE EXAMPLE WITH MORE VERY GOOD CARVING ON THE HANDLE THAN IS USUAL. I THINK IT REPRESENTS A DOG . DOGS WERE IMPORTANT AROUND THE VILLAGE FOR GIVING WARNING OF STRANGERS, FOR HUNTING AND CLEANING UP SCRAPS OF FOOD AROUND THE VILLAGE. IN HARD TIMES PERHAPS THEY SERVED AS THE MAIN DISH AS IN MANY SOCIETYS AROUND THE WORLD THEY OFTEN DID. MAN IS SENTIMENTAL BUT TRADITION OR NECESSITY OFTEN MAKES US BECOME MUCH MORE PRACTICAL.
I ASSUME THE HANDLE AND GAURD ARE CARVED FROM BUFFALOW HORN, ITS A VERY NICE ONE CONGRADULATIONS.
