Watch List notes:

ETHNOGRAPHIC: AFRICA: iron axe, Opitz p.17, 19cm-long iron axe head with dotted patterns, fitted with ca. 50cm curved wooden handle, wrapped in copper wires and embedded with copper studs, made by tribes in central Africa and often used as money, a well-designed and intricately crafted example! EF, ex Charles Opitz Collection. The gentle curvature of the handle not only gives this axe an elegant look, but also allows the axe head to deliver maximal impact.

Estimate: 250-350 USD
