Fang knife Gabon Wood, beads, wire, stone H.: 24 cm. Knife with a pointed blade inserted in an anthropomorphic handle. The figure with sturdy limbs is decorated with a small necklace of red pearls. Very old, authentic blade, inserted in a late anthropomorphic handle, circa 1950, therefore generally an object that was not much used, before being integrated into colonial circles as an object of knowledge or ornamental .
