Strange sword looks congolese but with tibetan pommel ??

Just finished on eBay, A strange sword described as executioners/ sacrificial sword ...but the 'balance' isn't right...too 'bottom heavy.
The blade looks African (Congo?) the brass pommel looks Tibetan or nearby. :shrug: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...ME:B:WNA:UK:12 |
Hello David, seems a spear point..... maybe an older masai spear point :shrug:
|
I would say spearhead as well, I have a sudanese spear with very similar head. The pommel is neat though.. does it open up?
|
Hi Flavio :) , I agree ...spearhead..but I assumed it had a tang and I hadn't seen this shape with a tang. But I now realise it could be socketted ...so Masai or Sudanese , as suggest by Mike,(Hi Mike :) )
I didn't win it (didn't bid) so I am uncertain about whether the pommel opens or not, but I think it probably does.....but to contain what? perhaps a 'protective' talisman, symbolic herb?..... The hilt wrapping is also very suspect, poorly done I feel :shrug: |
