Old ceremonial sword of the POTO / NGOMBE, DR Congo, 1st half of the 20th century

Honest authentic tribal used object this ancient ceremonial sword from the POTO or NGOMBE tribe from the DR Congo. Hand-forged blade with a line in the middle with very fine point decorations. Unfortunately not very clear to see in the photos. The edges of the lower, somewhat open part have also been processed. Everything is in its original condition. I deliberately did not clean the sword and left it like that. The sword comes with a professional custom made standard. Please take a good look at the photos for its fair condition.
