animal horn, brass, additional: headring, fine plant fibre netting, remains of old collection label
Rare animal horn clubs have always been considered particularly valuable and highly valued. As a status symbol, their property was reserved for great hunters. The rare material was difficult to work with, but was very durable and also had great magical effectiveness.
