Curved Saber Blade
Yakoma / Sango, D.R. Congo / Central African Republic
Iron, wood, copper
Early 20th century

The Yakoma were the primary manufacturers of this functional sickle blade, which was used by the Ngbandi, Sango, Gbanziri, Mbugbu, Bongo, and Ndunga. It’s likely that some of these non-Yakoma cultures also manufactured these blades (Elsen, Tribal Arms Monographs, Vol 1/No. 1, 1996).
