Sofa Saber 67cm - MALINKE - Manding / Guinea
These Malinké sabers were intended for horsemen called sofas: the latter distinguished themselves in the war led at the end of the 19th century by Samory against the French who were then colonizing West Africa. The curved blades are also inspired by French sabers. The leather sheath, on the other hand, is more inspired by Arab-Berber leather goods.
