Seme, The classical sword of the Massai people of East Africa. 20 inches long, well forged blade widening to 2 1/2 inches toward the tip in a spear point shape, and with a strong central rib. Hide covered handle .Total length 25 inches. Very good condition. Blackened areas on the blade with very minor pitted spots. Losses to the grip’s hide cover. This is the real authentic Massai sword, not one of the many traps sold to the tourist visiting Kenya and the neighboring countries.
