Description

The listing, Antique Set of Animal Darts has ended.

This Antique Set of 4 Animal Darts is a bit of a mystery? I'm not sure what type of animal they were made of, what they were really used for. I will have to depend on my fellow Listians to help solve this mystery. Anyway they are pretty cool looking!

Free shipping to verified Listians only.

3 day auction Bonanza!

Questions & Comments

African Porcupine quills get about 14 inches long.
Human-wildlife conflict threatens porcupines’ existence.
As human populations expand, humans and porcupines find themselves in increasingly close quarters. When porcupine populations close to cultivated areas surge, they can become serious agricultural pests. They are smoked out of their burrows and hunted with spears, nets, or dogs. These practices have eliminated them from densely settled areas.

They are targeted for their quills.
Porcupine quills have long been a favorite ornament and good-luck charm in Africa. The hollow rattle quills serve as musical instruments and were once used as containers for gold dust.
