Description
SONGYE-EKI/NSAPO, Democratic Republic of Congo. Iron, copper, wood. This magnificent 'Kilonda' ceremonial axe, a symbol of power with a complex and demanding shape, indicates that it was made by a master blacksmith. The solid handle is entirely covered in copper leaf, an expensive and rare material at the time. The strong, single-edged wrought-iron blade is incised with a human face on each side. 41.5 x 21.5 cm. (minor knocks).
