it is a little more than the Lunda empire....

Although I am not native French speaking, the French text expands into more peoples:

"the populations of the cultural connected Lunda-Chokwe and in particular the populations of the Lunda, Chokwe, Yaka, Kaniok, Suku, Songye-Eki living on the border of north Angola, Zambia and the south of the DR Congo between the wooded savannah and pre-forest region use a very beautiful sword,
This weapon has a wooden mount whicth a metal pommel (brass, copper) is conical shaped and rests on an ellipsoid piece streaked with radiating lines"

So it seems many forum members were correct !
