Description from the seller

- Origin: Democratic Republic of the Congo
- Tribe name: Ngbaka Lobala
- Material: Wood - wrought iron - brass
- Dimensions (mm): 705x175x74
- Weight (grams): 718
- Shipping method: Colissimo + Insurance

Magnificent large execution knife. Beautiful patina of use. The blade has been cleaned by my own hand using electrolysis, restoring its original shine as it leaves the Master blacksmith’s forge.

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.
