Interesting. Any information? Observations? What did you think of these?

Jim

The daggers at the right remind me of my Sudanese arm daggers. Seems the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Right on Lew! It really is amazing the influence that these early weapons carried into other African regions.
I am curious if perhaps there was any sort of identification or notes to go with the display, maybe these weapons may have had some sort of notes on period, where found etc.
It is a pretty picture though.

All the best,
Jim

Hi Louie,

Some shapes never go out of style.

Sorry, I had not the time to take more information.
Lew, it's true the daggers on the right are not far from The sudanese we know, but the 3 on the left... I've never see such handles on contemporary african knives.
