Curvy Short Sword
Mongo (Ngandu / Saka), D.R. Congo
Iron, wood, brass, copper
Early 20th century
The style of the handle defines this piece as coming from a Mongo-related culture, however, information about this specific type is scant. The existence of a few very similar examples confirms this as a defined style, but the research process is incomplete.
On this example, the designs applied to the center of the blade appear to depict a dagger.
