Very nice. The pommel may be a representation of a Hornbill bird which have great significance in Burkina Faso and other sahel regions. There are also similarities to the bird of prophecy relevant to parts of present day nigeria. I feel it is from further west of Nigeria.
Google Hornbill cults Burkina Faso. Last edited by Tim Simmons; 13th August 2008 at 02:30 PM. |
