Description

This is a traditional ethnographic double-bladed tool, likely originating from a culture with a history of crafting and resourcefulness. The tool features two blades affixed to a central handle, constructed from organic materials – possibly wood and natural fibres. The blades appear to be made of metal, and the handle is bound with what appears to be twine or cordage, suggesting a functional and durable design intended for tasks requiring both cutting and manipulation.

Condition

This ethnographic tool exhibits signs of age and use, consistent with its likely history as a working implement. The blades show some patina and wear, and the binding material is aged and may exhibit some fraying. Despite this, the tool appears structurally sound and retains its original character, making it a compelling item for collectors of ethnographic artifacts or those interested in traditional tools and craftsmanship.
