Shona bakatwa with silver wire wrap
Hi All,
Happy 2024 and I hope a great years collecting lies ahead for all. I was off grid for 2 weeks but picked this up on Tuesday night at auction. My first purchase for the year is what I beleve to be a Shona bakatwa with a type of wire wrapping, which i have not seen before. I am picking it up from auction house tomorrow but wanted to get opinions here as the auction house pictures are as good as I will take They call it A 19th century sword. 60.5cm But I think it is Shona abet with unusual silver coloured wire wrapping Any and all opinions welcome Regards Ken |
