AF454: Ngbandi Sword
Long Ngbandi fighting sword with a curved double edged blade. The handle is wood with an iron wrap, and there is a missing chunk out of one side. The damage was done long ago and the sword was continued to be used as the break is old and patinated. The blade is well forged with some surface decoration hammered in, and a dark oxidized color from age. The overall patina is good and dark from age and use.
25 1/2" overall with a 20" Blade. Early 20th century, D. R. Congo, Africa. ....Sold |
