Dimitri André

Beautiful ancient Yakoma sickle sword, in good condition, from the early 20th century.  For a long time, African weapons were collected by explorers and by the military as trophies or objects of curiosity, but besides their initial use as tools of combat, they are also true artworks and had to impress the enemy, either by their radiance or their shape.  
Dimensions: 
Length:  64 cm.  
Width:  24 cm.  
Weight:  520 grams.  
It will be delivered with track and trace.
