In post 66, on the right, this is not actually a kitara, which was an Omani hilt of cylindrical form, but with curved cavalry blade, usually German.
This example is of course Manding, this one if I recall was from Ouangdougou, Burkina Faso. In many cases curved cavalry blades in the Sahara ended up with takouba hilts, then regarded as 'alguinar'. |
