Dog Whip
Physical description
Dog whip made of sea mammal hide, with a wooden handle. The handle has a notch around the bottom with a strip of skin threaded through, and secured at the other end through a hole. The top of the handle is a combination of skin tied together, and being wrapped. On one side, there is a large rounded notch. From the handle, the whip is composed of many layers of skin that are stitched together, with the whip becoming increasingly thinner as it progresses towards the tip. The skin is knotted close to the tip.
