could indeed be Chokwe...
although the top of the below Chokwe handles are not round, blunt but both below have a tube-like ending |

As an alternative hypothesis, my first thought was Baule, based on grips on the sword in this thread,
and the dagger shown below with the following description: Quote:
EDIT: Or maybe Lunda? But that sword is also described as possibly Chokwe: Quote:

Thanks for another direction in my search. I've already gone through the available information, swords of this type are quite rare, so it's quite difficult to say anything with certainty.:смущенный: Let's keep looking! Best regards, Yuri. |

To muddy the waters a little more. This Kwango sword has many of the discussed features though the blade is more decorated and the Kwango area is the opposite side of Africa to Angola.

Yaka, Suku, Tshokwe, Lunda and Kaniok are possibilities. The end of the handle seems to be missing a piece.

Thank you, very similar swords, there are differences in the handles, but the blades seem to be from the same workshop. Best regards, Yuri. |
