African Brass dagger/Subsaharan

Congratulation on the flissa. The picture with the handles of my flissas is not well done. They are actually of the same bird shape, with the brass striped only the wood still present.I had seen many flissas but I think this 2 are the oldest from the ones I had. The blade is unusual in both of them much heavier and the inlays very rich and well done. They came from a French collection. One of them has the back of the blade decorated with brass inlay and I have never seen one like it. Also the tips are unusual.
