Handle from a Dagger
Tuareg, West Africa
Bronze
Early 20th century

The Tuareg are renown for their precise, high-quality metalwork. This old bronze handle that once held an iron blade shows elements of imperfection, asymmetry, and whimsey - all things that no longer exist in contemporary Tuareg metalwork.
