Whip2813/40

The handle of the whip is made out of wood and it has been capped in metal sheeting at the ends. There are also five metal bands along the shaft. The metal ends and the bands have been secured with three small nails in each. The bands and one of the ends have been perforated with small holes. The top end of the handle has been fitted with a metal ring that supports a short and tightly braided leather loop. There is a hole through the metal tip at the bottom of the handle and a leather strap has been attached through this hole. The leather strap, the stock, supports a long length of tightly braided leather rope. This leather rope, the thong, ends with a small fringe. It has been twisted, the leather has stiffened, and it will no longer straighten.
