What gifts did Twala send to the guests?What was so special about those things?

Twala send each man a shirt of shining chainmail and a battle-axe. These gifts to the white men demonstrate either Twala’s pleasure or his fear in entertaining the white men in Loo. Infadoos suggests they wear the chainmail tonight at the witch-hunt. When asked about their origins, Infadoos admits that none of the living Kukuanas know how to fashion such armor or weapons—they have been handed down from their forefathers.
