A good quality figurative axe from the Nyamwezi peoples of Tanzania. The well carved figure has bead eyes and blackened areas for the hair eyebrows and shoulders. The blade is well forged, and the overall piece has a good patina from age and use.     

22" overall by 9" Wide (5" Blade). Early 20th century, Tanzania, Africa.    ....$850.00
