Title: Trombash Currency Knife
Description: Once thought to be another variety of throwing knife, the trombash—made by tribes in the Sudan and Upper Nile regions—is an iron knife with a single curved blade. A trombash was sometimes a symbol of rank as well as currency. This antique example shows wear from use, with some loss to the handle. See Quiggin, p. 68; this piece illustrated in Opitz, p. 358, third from top.
