Hi Ian, many thank to share the interesting old photo of the Mossi warriors. I also collect postcard trying to get visible information on these old items.
Also thanks to Jim and especially to freebooter that find the previous thread on this sword. Therefore after a long series of suggestions regarding the animal depicted in the sculpture I added another one suggesting it is a sheep !! It is also nice to realize how this sword was found among Dogon and later it turns to be Mossi. I really enjoyed the previous thread that unfortunately I had not see previously. I did not supposed that it was already described and discussed. Thanks to everybody
