Dimitri André

This short sword comes from the Western Mongo, a large complex of tribes spread across the rainforests of western D.R. Congo and extending into the Republic of Congo. Certainly an important prestige object, it was sometimes described as a chief’s knife. Many examples were collected from the Ntomba, a clan living on the western shore of Lake Tumba who were related to the Konda.
