Old south american indian boleadoras

[rammjäger]

Hello,
this is a piece of a so called boleadoras .This relic was found near
the beach togheter with harrow heads and some ceramic potteries.
Its age is difficult to determine.It could be some 200 years or even older.

Just yesterday ,here in german TV I was looking at a film.
The story (apparently real) of a rich british gentleman who
went to live with the north american indians during the colonial period.
This tribe was been exterminated, so he teached them how to fight
with different weapons and tactics. Among them the boleadoras included !
Unfortunatelly I don't remember the Film's title
