Hello to all,
I want to show you 3 objects which irrefutably are from the ancient kingdom of Dahomey, I think that they are from the "Fon" people but I hesitate between Fon and Yoruba.I saw others post about the Dahomey's edged weapons but the doubt remains. |
You lucky chap three in a row. I would Fon and can only add this link.

CONGRADULATIONS TO HAVE THREE VARIATIONS OF A RARE FORM OF SWORD OF THAT QUALITY AND AGE IS INDEED GREAT FORTUNE. :)

Congratulations to the second sword. Acc to "African Arms and Armour" by Christopher Spring it is "Gubasa" - "ceremonial sabre carried by high ranking members of the Dahomean military and political hierarchy"
