Nice, Tim.
Just want to share this one with the forum. It's one of my latest finds.
It's a sickle knife which resembles a bit the ones used by the Mangbetu. But, I think it's a transitional form that was made (and used) by tribes like the Mamvu, Meje and also Bali from Northeastern Congo.
Probably a functional knife, but still it has some nice features like aluminium binding on the handle. There's also some carving on the base of the blade.
Total length : 29 cm
And Tim.....keep looking, they are out there. Just try to find them before me.
