Currency or Weapons? Africa?

What impressed me is the similarities, rather than the differences, considering the diversity in range and tribal origin.
This would seem to indicate a religious factor that transcends traditional boundries, as in a particular cult as opposed to a solitary tribal tradition.
If you don't mind me asking, did you get either or both of those pieces?(feel free to e-mail me direct mdandane@knology.net )**intentionally placed with full forethought**.
I don't think that these are common by any means and wouldn't be surprised to find them strongly shamanistic.
I wouldn't be surprised as well to find that some may have been removed from the sickles, as figures such as these are often worth far more than the average African sword or knife.
