The upper part of the handle is made of dark wood and is attached to the stone head with leather or sinew straps.
The middle part of the handle is wrapped in rawhide or dried sinew, providing a firm grip. The lower part of the handle is made of light-colored bone or ivory and features decorative engravings and carvings, including geometric shapes and possibly a stylized representation of an animal or human figure at the end. The piece appears to be in good condition, with signs of wear and patina suggesting either authenticity or a well-crafted replica. The Inca Empire (Tahuantinsuyo) was the largest civilization in pre-Columbian America.
