The blade is double-edged and widens from the handle to the point. The handle is made entirely of polished wood and has no real pommel. A cord is wrapped around the ricasso for carrying. Received from the Museum für Völkerkunde Berlin, from the "Sendung aus dem Schutzgebiete Kamerun, Sammlung von Hauptmann Kund". On the index card of the Landesmuseum Natur und Mensch, the origin is given as "Wute (hinterland of Cameroon)".
