The Mayoruna (sometimes spelled Mayuruna) Indians (also called the Matses, not to be confused with the Matis) of Brazil and Peru practice a unique native ceremony involving the use of a poison obtained from the skin of a frog. Phyllomedusa bicolor, an arboreal dart frog, commonly found in the canopy of the Amazonian rainforest, excretes a toxin from its skin that the Mayoruna inject into their bodies.

This blow-gun was made in the Amazon city of Manaus, Brasil by the native tribes - and sold as novelties in the handcrafted marketplace.  Although it has never been used to deliver a fatal poison, it is crafted in the original manner, using all indiginous materials of the Amazon Jungle.

Some features are:

• 16" Long - 1/2" diameter
• Parrott feathers
• Seeds, fish scales and other elements are used for decoration
• Real Piranha jaws adorn this blow gun
• 3 Darts included

This little blow gun has amazing accuracy and will deliver the dart swiftly 20-30 feet with a small amount of blowing.  Truly amazing!!

THIS BLOW GUN IS STRICTLY A NOVELTY AND NOT INTENDED TO BE USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE. CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO PLAY WITH THIS BLOW GUN AS IT COULD CAUSE INJURY IF NOT USED PROPERLY.
