This is a picture from my latest book purchase. BENIN Kings and Rituals, Court Arts from Nigeria. A fantastic large tome that accompanies a traveling exhibition through 2007-2008 Vienna has finished but Musee du quai Branly Paris, Ethnologisches Museum- Berlin, The Art Institute of Chicago are all still to stage the exhibition in 2008 if you have the money you must go, be there or be square man.
Anyway this first picture does make you wonder just how many Asian parang blades were made in Europe. ![]() This is a bit far out made in Birmingham. ![]() ![]() These other pictures are post here just because they are simply marvelous. As far as I know these may be the only weapons on show but hey they are not to be missed. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by Tim Simmons; 30th January 2008 at 10:39 AM. Reason: spelling |
