Whip

This whip was said to have been used by a famous warrior, Kaikundo, in the mid 19th century. The Sierra Leone National Museum records note that the whip formerly had a magic spell and whoever had been flogged with it believed to have suffered from its ill-effect and paralysis was the ultimate result . It is made of plaited leather.
