Musele (knife)
An onzil (or osele or musele) is a throwing knife of ethnic groups from eastern Gabon (Kota people (Gabon), Kota, Fang people, Fang, Mbete languages, Mbété). Uses Looking like an axe, the ''onzil'' has a hornbill, calao-shaped blade. Its handle, often made of wood, is covered with copper wire, iron or brass. Sometimes handles are made of ivory. The onzil served as sacrificial weapons or for war. The Kota people (Gabon), Kotas called them ''osele'' or ''musele'', and the Fang people, Fang called them ''onzil''. Early forms of this style knife, associated with the Fang people, had shorter straight handles. Kota people are neighbors of the Fang and likely from them adopted this style of knife.http://papke.med.ufl.edu/brian/Handfuls/V2%20Theo/chapter-8/1890-kota-bird-head.html Gallery COLLECTIE TROPENMUSEUM Metalen werpmes TMnr 5938-2.jpg, Classical onzil Kota Onzil Axe.svg, Rare fish shaped onzil Bibliography * Jan Elsen, ''De fer et de fierté, Armes blanches d†...

Muselet
A ''muselet'' () is a wire cage that fits over the cork of a bottle of champagne, sparkling wine or beer to prevent the cork from emerging under the pressure of the carbonated contents. It derives its name from the French ''museler,'' to muzzle. The muselet often has a metal cap incorporated in the design which may show the drink maker's emblem. They are normally covered by a metal foil envelope. Muselets are also known as wirehoods or Champagne wires. History When champagne was first produced the pressure of the sparkling wine was maintained by wooden plugs sealed with oil-cloth and wax. This method proved inconsistent either from leaking or blowing out of the stopper and a method of restraining the corks using cord was developed. In 1844, Adolphe Jacquesson invented the more secure method involving steel wire, however the early muselets were not easy to install and proved somewhat inconvenient to open. Further developments led to the modern muselet which is made of steel w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
