Throwing knife.
This type of object, made from iron, which is in the shape of throwing knives, was also produced by the groups who live in the region of the Ubangi and in the Central African Republic.On the front of the blame, there are small decorative engravings.The designs of the blades can differ from one weapon to another. We know of some made instead of brass. They typically lack the coating that covers the handle.Similar examples made in soft iron were exchanged as currency.
