Obsidian blade knife C1702

This piece is part of our Native American-inspired series.
The blade is knapped in an opaque, red and black obsidian called Mahogany obsidian. So it comes from America and that fits in with the idea that I had of this prehistoric knife that could also come from America.
It is glued to the handle with a prehistoric glue also used by North American Amerindians. Consisting essentially of resin, this mass glue is then reinforced with a deer tendon ligature coated with tendon glue.
The deerwood handle is engraved with an Amerindian sign. A small deerskin strap is attached to it.
The case, franged, is made in tanned deer hide covered with deerskin.
Anita brought her touch with some bone and jasper beads to decorate it.
I wanted to create an aspect of already lived in this piece by applying the usual patina, while ensuring that it remains light. The set thus gives the appearance of a case and its knife having already lived a few years worn by its owner.
