Knife with an iron blade and a wooden handle, in a wooden sheath. The blade has a raised ridge down the middle. The handle and sheath are carved with geometric designs. The sheath is made in two halves which are bound together with copper wire. At the top of the sheath, where the blade fits in, is a raised, triangular section of wood with a hole through it. There are white and pink beads strung on a thread and wrapped around the end of the sheath for decoration. The knife was made by a smith ('mhangura'), and belonged to a medicine man ('nganga').
The object has a rectangular, beige label with it, written on in pencil.
