    It is covered with cowries and has been made sacred. the blood used is that of a Koba (horse antelope)
    It was given to me by my hunting guide, Joseph TRAORE who got it from his father in recognition of having had his old brother treated for onchocerciasis, an endemic eye disease in his village because of a stagnant river. in the dry season, which attracted game and flies carrying this disease
