Thumbs up

I have no pictures of warriors with axes, but a new axe will do, no ?

This one is from the Luba-tribe in Congo. The handle is covered with a thick copper band.





Who's next ?

Talking A FEW MORE TO SWEETEN THE POT

THE FIRST AXE IS FROM THE FANG TRIBE OF GABON, THE SECOND IS FROM THE LUBA TRIBE OF CONGO, THE OTHER THREE ARE VARIATIONS OF THE SONGYE TRIBE OF THE CONGO OFTEN REFERED TO AS A (NA ZAPA ZAP) ,THEY HAVE OLD COPPER COVERED HANDLES AND 2 FACES EACH. THESE EXAMPLES ARE ALL CEREMONIAL, I WILL POST SOME OTHERS WHEN i GET THE CHANCE. ENJOY!
