These 3 small sword (28/30cm) are from the Quai Branly museum database
Called Zeme from Bada or N'gapou in Central African Republic

Brought back by J. Dybowski in 1893
He opened the road from Bangui to the north (Sudan).
You can see one in this drawing from an old french newspaper with an article about the Dybowski expedition.The knive are described as used by women.

So Colin you were not far...Yakoma/Ngbandi are just below on the map
