Wag-nuk or tigers claw, 2 1/2 feet in length. This was an Indian weapon belonging to a secret society and was invented about 1659 by Sewaja, a Hindoo. It was used for purposes of murder, and as it counterfeited the wounds of a tigers claw, it diverted suspicion from the offender. In the Meyrick Collection.
