Description from the seller
- Origin: Democratic Republic of the Congo
- Tribe name: Banda - Ondo/Mbugbu
- Material: Wood - Wrought iron - Copper
- Dimensions (mm): 434x342x18
- Weight (grams): 364
- Shipping method: Colissimo + Insurance
===The original certificate will be emailed to the purchaser===
Throwing knife in perfect condition.
Its blade has been cleaned by electrolysis by me. Thanks to this process, harmless to iron, we can view the blade as it appeared in the hands of the blacksmith during its creation. African ethnic groups protected their weapons against oxidation with animal grease.
IMPORTANT FOR U.S. BIDDERS
- Due to the significant restrictions imposed by U.S. Customs on imports (high customs fees for both the sender and the recipient, as well as extensive administrative paperwork), I regret to inform potential bidders from the United States that I will no longer be able to ship items purchased at auction to them.
Thank you to our American friends for refraining from bidding on my items until relations between our governments return to normal.
