- Origin: Democratic Republic of the Congo

- Material: Wrought iron - Wood
- Dimensions (mm): 421x222x39
- Weight (grams): 535

Superb sickle with 4 protrusions. It should be noted that African ethnic groups were well aware of the drawbacks of water and humidity on iron. That is why they coated them with animal fat when these objects were in use.
