I agree with Lews observation on the ivory one...it is indeed very pretty!!
Any special significance I wonder? I think these Mangbetu trumbash are extremely interesting as they seem almost true to form examples of the Egyptian khopsh. It is a fascinating thing to see such ethnographic weapons that must almost certainly derive from ancient iconography still used ceremonially in tribal cultures. |
