Description from the seller
- Origin: Democratic Republic of the Congo
- Tribe name: Ngombe
- Material: Wood - Wrought iron - Copper
- Dimensions (mm): 372x247x19
- Weight (grams): 303
- Shipping method: Colissimo + Insurance
By gently pinching the blade you will feel slight bumps and irregularities. This will indicate that the iron was forged by a blacksmith, which is a mark of authenticity.
===The original certificate will be sent to the buyer by email===
Its blade has been cleaned by electrolytic treatment by my own hands. Thanks to this process, harmless to the iron, we can see its blade as it was in the blacksmith’s hands during its creation. African tribes protected their weapons against oxidation with animal fat.
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.
