Mambele sickle sword - ZANDE - D.R Congo Reasonable condition Material: iron. 
The length of the sword is 77 cm.  Width of the widest part: 4 cm.  Some corrosion, but it was not polished nor lacquered. 
Different patterns were applied on the entire length of the blade on one side, the other one is blank and has no motifs. 
Authentic sword from the early 20th century. 
You will receive a CERTIFICATE with a picture, a description and an age attestation delivered by Africanart. 
It was brought back by a Belgian mining engineer, who worked in the malachite mines of the Union Minière du Haut Katanga (Mining Union of Upper Katanga). 

I also have a photo album in which there are pictures of the mine where we worked, and from him at home, in the former Belgian Congo. 
You can receive the pictures by mail, if desired. 
Registered shipment.
