African small dagger

[Freddy]

You could be right. The smaller daggers can be attributed to women, while the larger ones are for men. Anyway, this is true for the Mangbetu dagger.

About the dagger you showed us : it could also be from the Zande or Boa tribes. They used daggers very similar to the ones of the Mangbetu.

I don't think it's a Tetela as these daggers often have a metal loop at the top of the handle.
