Ethiopian/Sudanese knife
Just picked this one up. It is a massive knife that I cannot quite place. The blade and decoration are Ethiopian, but the grip with the round pommel is, I think, of Sudanese influence. The silver scabbard is from an Ethiopian sword (shotel, most likely) with traditional naïf design. Very appealing in its crudeness. And so is the Lion on the blade. Any ideas about its provenance. Martin, help?
