About the Item
Beautifully crafted dager from Nigeria (Haussa People) with an organic handle.
Hausa people are frond in northwestern Nigeria and adjacent southern Niger. They constitute the largest ethnic group in the area, which contains another large group, the Fulani, perhaps one-half of whom are settled among the Hausa as a ruling class, having adopted the Hausa language and culture.
The language belongs to the Chadic group of the Afro-Asiatic (formerly Hamito-Semitic) family. It is infused with many Arabic words due to an Islamic influence, which spread during the latter part of the 14th century from the kingdom of Mali, profoundly influencing Hausa's beliefs and customs. A small minority of Hausa, known as Maguzawa, or Bunjawa, remained pagan.
