UNIQUE TRADITIONAL BASQUE MAKILA HANDMADE FROM CONGO CHESTNUT WOOD
I POST WORLDWIDE
This traditional Basque walking stick is known as a makila, a walking cane used by hunters, hikers and herders as both a walking aid and for protection from wild animals. The top portion of the cane, which is covered in a handsome woven leather, can be pulled off the top of the stick to reveal a hidden spike or blade, effectively turning the stick into a short spear. The stick is capped with a flattened knob or pommel made of horn. Length: 36 1/2" STEPS TO MAKE A GENUINE TRADITIONAL MAKILA
The pommel, made of horn. Formerly, ox horn was used for such.
A slevee holds the hilt of skin, while pressing the pommel. It´s in this slevee where dedications and sentences are written to suit to each customer or recipient´s liking.
The handle is a tube covered with kid skin. After doing several straps with the kid´s skin, the craftsman braid its to cover the tube.
The rapier is hidden under the handle.Made with stainless steel.
At the bottom of makila usually is placed another slevee. In it, the craftsman engraves decorative motifs about the Basque symbols.
The medlar´s wood often is decorated with special shapes. The medlar is the only tree that, healing the wounds that previously made the craftsman in it, creates original reliefs like decoration in its skin. So it is the best suited to produce the makila.
The tip of the makila that touches the ground is made of steel.
Le Makhila est un bâton en bois de néflier, flexible, robuste et noueux, élégant et élaboré avec le mime génial,
bien sûr, fait à la main.
Comme un symbole, le Makhila signifie la noblesse, la justice, le respect et l'autorité.
Comme un utilitaire, le Makhila était inséparable compagnon sur toutes les routes et un élément de sécurité.
Le Makhila a eu une grande évolution à travers l'histoire. Ils ont pris les bergers de nos montagnes, mais étaient plus longues que celles utilisées dans les villages et les zones urbaines.
Même si certains ont considéré le Makhila comme une arme défensive, personne ne peut dire qui ait tenu cette fonction mais comme un complément. Jusqu'au début du siècle, pas personne dans le Pays Basque pouvait imaginer partir en voyage ou d'assister à une partie de pelote sans son écharpe rouge et Makhila à la main.
La Makila es un bastón de madera de níspero, flexible, nudosa y resistente, elegante y trabajada con gran mimo, naturalmente, realizada a mano. Como símbolo, la Makila significa nobleza, justicia, respeto y autoridad.
Como utilidad, la Makila era compañera inseparable en todos los caminos y, además, elemento de seguridad. La Makila ha tenido una gran evolución a lo largo de la historia. La llevaron los pastores de nuestras montañas, aunque entonces eran más largas que las que se utilizaban en los pueblos y zonas urbanas. Aunque algunos han considerado la Makila como arma defensiva, no se puede decir que tuviera esta función, sino como valor complementario. Hasta principios de siglo, apenas se imaginaba uno al vasco ir de viaje o presenciar un partido de pelota sin su faja roja y su Makila en la mano.MIDE 90 CMS APROXI POST WORLDWIDE
