Thank you for showing the details – excellent pictures.

The decoration at the top of the blade is strange, I can't recall to have seen one like it before, and can't offer any suggestions. The dotted circle with a dot in the middle is another puzzle. It reminds me of the flower on the kora blades, but I don't know if it represents the same, and if it does, one must really say that it is very stylized. I hope someone else on the forum can help with informations. On the weapons I have with dot markings most of the dots are triangle as well, which must be due to the form of the tool used.
