Hi Sajen, thanks for your comment, I find the weapons of the Congo fascinating there shapes and decoration are so diverse and flamboyant which seems remarkable to me considering the materials and tools they had to work with. The problem I have is try6ing to determine which ethnic group used which weapon type and which group`s Smith made them, just one of the usual frustrations for collectors
