About

A long, single-tailed snake whip made of coiled leather strands inside a smooth, hand-stitched leather shot bag running three quarters of the length. The fall consists of two tightly twisted strands that terminate in a hard knot. The metal knob handle is attached to the leather by two nails, allowing the whip to be coiled up for easy carrying.
