Interesting Old Postcard

Very nice. I see a Baule sword at the bottom on the right which would be a perfect addition to my collection

Here are some other old postcards. These show the collection of the Museum of Central Africa in Tervuren (Belgium). Some of these displays can still be seen at that museum. A must if you're in Belgium and interested in Africa.

First a display case with some Kuba knives and other stuff

On this picture just look at the shields and spears on the wall !

Third pictues shows a statue of a Songye (Nsapo-nsapo) smith at work. On the wall are some Songye axes (I only have 2

)
