Just picked up this nice old Shona piece probably 1900 or earlier?

Looks fine - hard to put a date, maybe early 20th century...

Hi Lew,
congratulation, nice bakatwa dagger, difficult to say exact which age, I think around 1920, maybe a little bit before or also later. A little bit unusual seems the bottom of the sheath, normal it looks from the side like a feet, this one seems to be round/cylindric. Best Wolf |
