Description

Massai Weapon Sword Sheeth, purchased from collector.
Masaai weapon
:
Recognized by its leaf-like blade, median ridge, and ochre-hued scabbard, the “Ol
Alem” style seme is a prized weapon of Maasai warriors and surrounding tribes in
Kenya and Tanzania. The scabbard color is most notable because it directly reflects the ethnic identity of its owner. While they can range from brown to red, the blood red scabbards specifically represent the traditional pastoral Maasai. During a two decade long weapons’ ban authorized by the British, the continued presence of the bright red came to represent the Maasai’s firm stance on preserving their culture.
