this is why I have a doubt, do you know of another example of Kuba axe?
If I understood everything, the Kuba Songye live next to, right? |

Very cool patterns! Never seen ones like these before and I'm unfortunately no help as to the authenticity, but I know I like it!
 The handle btw., is wrapped in leather from the Nile monitor - Varanus niloticus.  - thanks for sharing! All the best, - Thor |

HERE ARE A FEW MORE EXAMPLES OF THE MORE ORNATE FORMS OF THIS STYLE OF SONGE AX FOR COMPARISON AND YOUR ENJOYMENT.
 SOME COVERED WITH LIZARD SKIN SOME WITH COPPER ONE MAY HAVE A PURE COPPER HANDLE. Last edited by VANDOO; 11th September 2012 at 05:41 AM. |

thank you for your clarifications. the shape of the handles of axes Songye is always the same. Those below the bulge on the top of the handle is small, the iron is very wide in the end, I doubt, I do not know. She Songye origins, but it is forged by Songye, I do not think ....
Here's a link to the page of my site where I put all my axes Songye : http://www.couteaux-moing.com/coutea...frican_axe.htm I prepared a small collection on my site .... |
