Hi Martin,
The picture is from the last book of Zirngibl : Panga na visu http://www.hepelo-verlag.de/?B%FCche...:panga_na_visu In Seltene Afrikanische Kurzwaffen a similar model made of wood is decribed as Fulbe, Mandingo, from Guinea. |

This is a fabulous place, yes?
It is quite possible that cult knives of this type are general to a very large foot print of west Africa even into central Africa, Congo? We are not privy to the religious and cultural use? We pick the pieces up and try to reform the jigsaw? We have to understand the possible diffusion of a religious/cult concept in an region of people. Just think of medieval Europe?
