I don't recall seeing it on other examples not attributed to Kuba, but clearly there are some.

Chris, looking through the book "Panga na Visu" by Zirngible & Kubetz ... the only other tribes that seem to utilise this particular type of metal decoration on their weapon hilts, seem to be the Wongo and the Lele peoples. I believe they are both related to the Kuba and to be found in the same geographical area of the Congo ?
