Hello,
Thank you for your message, I don't know if the hilt is made with an hippo teeth, but likely , the hilt shape stay cylindrical, not conical at all... could this item be called '' traditional money'' ( I translate litterally ) more than a weapon like large spears heads, often used in Central Africa as money exchange, gift for a wedding... |
