I like the second one: she is very cute and her tribe used to make great swords, but now makes even better sushi!

Nice Ariel.

I of course meant the people group from Congo, I'm always forgetting the specificity.

I've never seen the sword you posted. Seems to be of much better quality than the usual African stuff and infinitely more functional. I am intrigued...

I just happened upon it while surfing the http://anthro.amnh.org/anthro.html Africa collection.

Here's another Mayoko sword (though not nearly as nice)

Notice the different blade cross-section from the previous example.

I started a thread called Takouba saber. The sword has the same cross section. Identification can be maddening where does one inflence end and another start across a vast land. It looks like the sword belongs to the big chap with all the flunkies hanging around.
