Hi Spunjer,

I hope you don't mind me correcting you on this one. I don't think this is a Mandaya sheath.

I believe you are offering an African sheath from the Nkundu tribe in Congo.

Still an nice piece, though.

hi freddy,
wow, the similarity is uncanny! but this particular sheath has been with a mandaya dagger i had a few years ago. the dagger is now long gone tho.
perhaps that explains the animal skin strip with the sheath.

I didn't look at the dimensions of your piece.

But have a look at this pic. You see the similarities ? Especially on the left sheath.
