Africa ceremonial axe Mumuye
I bought this strange bronze ceremonial axe / sceptre.
The form is really original and well balanced. 37cm / 25cm Not for a fight of course. A very nice Tribal object, a sort of "flag". The Mumuye (north Nigeria) also use a similar axe as currency (see the pic from Danny mapico ) Luc |
