Prestige Knife and Sheath
In the Owambo Ondonga kingdom of northern Namibia, the possession of this kind of prestige knife was historically restricted to members of the government and to individuals who had gained the trust and respect of the king, who would bestow it on them, especially in recognition of outstanding military or pastoral achievements. The wooden sheath for the knife is adorned with a copper plate and wire. Text: Sandra Ferracuti.
