What sort of Santaria script/Voodoo script?

While Africa had its own symbolisms, and Voodoo as well as Santaria evolved from the West African Vodun religion not sure this number (1707) or the 'J' ? have such connections. Do you mean the curious shapes on the blade?
Actually they remind me more of Central African 'throwing knives'......but West Coast Africa had some bizarre shapes on blades in Dahomey (Benin).
