African Yaka? Bow.

Hello Bill,
This kind of bow is described as pygmy, but they live in the middle of the Bantu People, so this bow is also used by Luba, Kuba and others.
Arrows are a strange set, a mix of Kuba, Luba even Tchokwe forms.
The color pics are from "Ata Epe bogen und Pfeile Afrikas".
Sprechen sie Deutch Bill ?
And the other from "Ijzerwerk van Centraal-Afrika" the arrows are described as Mbala, Tschokwe, Lele, Ngul, Kuba and Luba, and in "Beauté Fatale" you can see some bows, one described Luba.
As Freddy said in "Waffen aus Zentral-Afrika" the bow is described as Yaka, they are Bantu people also with pygmy not far.
