16thC African Sword

I've just searched the B.M. online database using the keywords Congo Sword, and there is an entry for it. The sword was only acquired by them in 1995 so strictly speaking the label should say "pre-1995", with maybe something added saying that the curators think it could be 16th Century.

Yes, it follows the same line ... except for the face on the grip
