Hi Tim,

So you are the one who got away with that axe. I was watching it, too.

I didn't realize it was so big.

I think your axe is from Tansania, probably Zaramo or Luguru. These people have axes where the axe blade goes through the handle in the same way. I have never seen one decorated with beads, though.

Did you see the adze this lady sold earlier this week....to me ?
