TRUMBASH KNIFE WITH IVORY HILT, MANGBETU ?
I picked up this Trumbash knife with an elefant ivory hilt.
The knife is probably in the Netherlands since 1938 but the seller had no further details. (thought it was a harvesting tool with bone handle) Any idea on age and tribe ? Mostly they are described to Mangbetu, but could this one be of a neigbouring tribe ? Thanks in advance for any comments. Best regards, Willem |
