In the ten years of this forum the two items shown here and a knife that Fernando has are the stars I am most envious of. Really nice objects.
Here are a couple of snippets from "Africa's, OGUN, Old World and New" available from Amazon and quite broadening. The book covers what we commonly know as Voodoo in Africa and the Americas. The ceremonial use of weapons is found in many social situations as supports of, and emblems of power in both the world of people and beyond. the extracts are just the basic setting so to speak.
