Hello everyone,
I have posted these photos of Congo weapons in the hope that the more knowledgeable members will confirm or otherwise the nams and origins that I have used as I have found it very difficult in some cases to differentiate between tribes. They may also prove of some interest to other members. Thanking you in anticipation. No1:- Manbetu Trumbash having two holes No 2:- Mangbetu Trumbash with three holes No 3-- Mongo, Konda Ikakalaka No 4:- Pende Sword No 5:- Poto Dignitary sword made by Ngombe No 6:- Similar to No 5 No 7:- Zande Sword No 8 Zande swhort sword or knife No 9: Ngala Executioners Sword No 10;_ Ngulu Executioners Sword made by the Ngombe Regards Miguel |

A NICE ASSORTMENT ITS NOT MY FIELD SO I CAN'T ADD MUCH. THE TWO SWORDS YOU IDENTIFY AS ZANDE ARE ONES I HAVE ALWAYS CALLED POTO SWORDS. YOUR TWO EXAMPLES STILL HAVE THEIR HIDE BUNDLES ON THE POMMELS THAT HOLD MAGICAL ITEMS AND TALISMAN , OFTEN THEY ARE MISSING.
