Description
First time offered from my private collection is this very old Chokwe (tshokwe) axe from the Angola/Congo regions. Along with the fine honey patina on this item, there are some other attributes that make this fine axe one of note. Midway fown the haft, there is a wrapping of original, deeply patinated hide binding in pristine condition. At the end of the haft, a wrought iron band has been hammered around the tip. There are two links of hand wrought iron chain that was probably longer at one time, from which charms and talismans hung, now long gone. The blade is in fine condition with a bevvy of incised decorations throughout both sides. length is 19 inches and length of blade is 12 inches. This axe would probably date to the mid 19th.C. Domestic shipping will be 25.00 and International will be 45.00.
