Hello,
It is really very simmilar to the dagger from Jima, but in fact it is Amaro/Ometto tribes dagger from around Arba Minch, south Ethiopia. Unfortunately I do not have my books with me here, but there exist pendrawing in another 19th century travel book, which is like exact copy of your photo. Also my friend in Ethiopia confirmed this. Regards, Martin |
