My only piece from the Tiv culture. About 14", wood. Tiv pieces are quite rare in the artifact collecting arena. Got this at an estate sale of a major African collector. Another collector was looking at it, when he turned away, I grabbed it and took it to the cashier......

I am always amazed by how cheap African weapons are in comparison to the artifacts, (unless you deal with that California dealer who "buys weapon and sells art!")

Lew, if you get tired of that dagger.....
