If Danny aka Mapico tells you its Ngbandi or Yakoma than you can bank on that description.  You did well.Congrats Lew |

I had this sword in hand, I think Ngombe / Doko, more than Ngbandi / Yakoma, because of the specific engravings and signature.
We can see this sort of decoration on Ngombe / Doko execution knife also. But, we are in the same area, I'm going to search in my books Luc |
