The photo fooled me; there looks like a rolled line running down the spike; thanks. I thought of the wood; someone could
ID it, but I didn't figure we coul dget anything meaningful from pictures; it looks mahagaesque, and there's so many of those. Likwise the carving is so basic; could easily be Berbese, or Nepali or probably anything else. I think maybe the only other bare wooden sheaths I've seen coming out of Africa are on flyssas? It's also not very European, and is frankly where I feel my S America idea may fall apart, too....
