Default Africa ceremonial axe Mumuye
I bought this strange bronze ceremonial axe / sceptre.
The form is really original and well balanced.
37cm / 25cm
Not for a fight of course.
A very nice Tribal object, a sort of "flag".

The Mumuye (north Nigeria) also use a similar axe as currency (see the pic from Danny mapico )
