Thanks Colin. My axe has the same style decoration to one side of the blade as in this example.

Thanks Lew. Much appreciated as I spent rather a lot on this piece. It can be seen that there is certainly age to the axe, especially when one thinks of the end of Bornu sovereignty in the south Sahara .

Who could say the axe is not from Kano?
