Sword; Cutlass
The weapon has a double-edged blade made of native iron, which widens considerably from the handle to the point. The shape of the point is reminiscent of a duck's foot. The wooden handle was covered with reptile skin and has no real pommel. Obtained from the Museum für Völkerkunde Berlin, from the "Consignment from the Protectorate of Cameroon, collection of Captain Kund)". There it is described as a "sword, made of einheim. Iron", origin "Jaunde".
