Hi Spunjer,

I hope you don't mind me correcting you on this one. I don't think this is a Mandaya sheath.

I believe you are offering an African sheath from the Nkundu tribe in Congo.

Still an nice piece, though. ;)

hi freddy,
wow, the similarity is uncanny! but this particular sheath has been with a mandaya dagger i had a few years ago. the dagger is now long gone tho.
perhaps that explains the animal skin strip with the sheath.

I didn't look at the dimensions of your piece.

But have a look at this pic. You see the similarities ? Especially on the left sheath. ;)
