Traditional whip of Carpathian shepherds

The decoration of the whip comes from Slovakia's Gemer and Hont regions. Inlaying of three materials was used to decorate the whip's handle: pewter, black cow's horn and deer antler. The loose tin rings on the handle were cast and turned directly on it. The whip has a leather braided core wrapped in eight strands.
