Hello,
I'm a new member to his forum and trying to get in conctact with other people who have the same "collecting bug", or how do you call it, like I do. Because once you start collecting you don't ever wanne stop... I collect figures, masks and weapons from the Congo. Here are some pieces of my collection, enjoy... From left to right: a Teke, Ngombe, Mangbetu knife. The top one I'm not sure, maybe Yakoma-Ngbandi. Any suggestions are welcome. Hope the photo is okay, I'm better in collecting African art then taking photos... Yours, Carlo |

Salaams Carlo~ Welcome to the Forum.
Your chosen field is a great one ! Perhaps you already read this but Burtons The Book of The Sword is a famous resource for ethnographic weapons in your field. Its on line and free. ![]() Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi. |

Thanks Emanuel, this type of Mangbetu knife is rare to find, there is a great variety of Mangbetu of knives. I like them also...
I didn't know ,Ibrahiim, that you're also interested in Congo knives. I see that you live near the UAE. How did you get in contact with Congo knives? Thanks for the tip about the book. I'm going to google it, I didn't know it existed. Any suggestions about the knife at the top of the photo, is it Yakoma-Ngbandi? Yours, Carlo |
