Yes, I know this one: same swords on the left hip.
I knew of the bronze art of Benin, but this is the first time I see such an organized Damascus pattern on the African sword.

I did find the Buttin's example, and understand why he and Oldman never even thought of Africa as a source.



Any other examples?
