ZIRNGIBL MANFRED A., Seltene Afrikanische Kurzwaffen, Grafenau 1983, pag. 80 (238);
This long sword belongs to the artistic tradition of Boa o Ababoa knives, as this sub group, the Zande, were once known as. In the middle of the blade, there are up to three holes running vertically along the central shaft.
