Curved Liberian Sword

Morgan Oakes Gallery

Kru / Grebo / Dan / Ngere, Liberia / Ivory Coast

Iron, wood, brass

19th century

Numerous examples of this very distinct knife were photographed and collected on the border of Liberia and the Ivory Coast. Most are attributed to the Kru of Liberia, but Blandin reports collecting examples in western Ivory Coast, near the Liberian border. While little information about meaning and function was recorded, photographs show these knives being conspicuously brandished (Blandin, Fer Noir, 1992; Elsen, De fer et de fierté, 2003; Zirngibl & Kubetz, Panga Na Visu, 2009).
