Dagger2948/31

Bone dagger. The body of the dagger is formed from a cassowary leg bone, partially cut to expose the hollow interior and shaped into a fine point. The head of the bone is wrapped with a woven plant fibre casing, continuing into five thin strands of woven fibre. These each attach to two groups of blue seeds attached to short grey and long, fine black feathers. The woven casing around the thick end of the dagger has three painted bands of orange pigment. At the bottom point is a small incised cut running in a band across the bone. The head of the bone is red, with the remainder of bone yellow-brown to brown.

Dagger2948/30

Bone dagger. The body of the dagger is made from a bone that has been shaved away on one half to reveal the hollow interior of the bone. The surface of the bone is covered in marks and is stained with dirt. A faint carved mark appears on the underside of the dagger. The midsection of the piece is circumscribed with a thin, black, carved ring. The head of the bone is wrapped in a thickly woven plant fibre casing. This woven casing has seven strands coming off of it which are decorated with two sets of two blue or white seeds each and sets of two black beads connected to bundles of brown and black feathers. The tops of these seven bundles are wound with the same strands of natural fibre, and some of the strands extend past the length of the black feathers.
