Description: | 4814. This is given in catalogue as a chinese- wooden pot or roll call which seems all wrong- I'd have said Melanesia. Most prob a Melanesian bamboo knife-little used or maybe only one blade strip detached. (G. Jarris)
Bamboo knife with a handle of woven plant fibre, with lengths of plaited plant fibre attached. There are red beads attached to the upper part of the handle.
