Very nice African piece from the Cameroon. I assume the handle is original though it does appear to show Congo influences. It is not 18th century.

Hello Tim,
Thank you ! Do you think it is a machete/dagger or a ceremonial piece / barter money ? I was wondering if there was missing a part of the hilt ( due to the special shape of the base of the hilt.) ( I don't know much about african art-weapons ) |

I found this looking like on internet,
they say an executioneers sword but it seems heavier than the other model ... |

I would place the kothimora kukri at perhaps the mid-20th century.
