mystery sword
Hi Tim,
I asked around and I was told by J.Elsen "Fulbe,Peul" not 100% sure. The one on Mambele is marked "Ful/Mandingo" I added a pic from Mambele website.... I would say for sure in that region. |

Splendid. Thank you all. A very unusual ceremonial sword. The Baga also populate Conakry and surounding coastal area.

My curiosity has been roused this evening. I wonder if there may be some confusion about this form of knife. You have to admit it really does have a sub-saharan, Congo look. Perhaps there is a muddling of Guinea and Equatorial Guinea? Seems more like Equat Guinea to me.
