The Macuahuitl was a distinctive weapon among Meso-American cultures, resembling a sword but constructed from wood with obsidian or flint blades embedded within a groove. The term "Macuahuitl" has been translated as both "hand-wood," alluding to it being a type of club, and "hungry wood," which may symbolize its appearance as a carnivorous set of teeth tearing through flesh.
