Gosh that is rather nice, Well done. I got a good thing today, a large bronze anklet . I think from the Cameroon, not being a weapon I have not added a picture.

You ever hear of a copper blade that sings? When you pling it with your finger the blade rings quite nicely.

Lew here is the picture from Westerdijk's book. N.11 seems similar to yours.

This lovely ornate one I got from Freddy is very similar. Gosh it just happens to be lying next to a Cameroon noble women's anklet. You can see the traditionally auspicious earth spider motif in the cut out panels. I must tidy my play pen.

Hi Tim, i think yours is more Konda. Anyway the anklet is a very beauty

Tim

Does the anklet open on a hinge or is it one solid piece?

Lew thanks for the interest. Obviously things like this will appeal to me. This one is particulary fine with no file marks, not that file marks mean something is not old. I will keep it short as it is not a weapon and the pictures say enough.
