Ifẹnmwẹ
Description
Ifẹnmwẹ (arrows) were usually used alongside Uhambọ and Ẹkpede. Ifẹnmwẹ were part of the weaponry used for hunting animals and during warfare. The shaft was a product of the Igbesamwan guild, and the tips were made by the Igun-Ematon. Ifẹnmwẹ tips could be dipped in poison made by the Ilobi, who still continue to make toxic substances.
