Dimitri André

TEKE prestige axe (former Belgian Congo, Stanley Pool), with an anthropomorphic handle in carved wood, covered with hammered copper/brass sheet and a few nails, the metal blade is slightly engraved. 
Beautiful overall condition for the handle and its brass sheets, however, the blade is strongly rusted or oxidised.  The stand is included, but unstable.
We can find a similar axe under the n° 48 in the reference book of the Museum Tervuren, Trésors d'Afrique.

1st half 20th century - Good condition, used with some signs of wear 

Ax (1) - African bronze, Black iron, Wood - Congo
