Weapons and ceremonial weapons
← All objectsText of the original catalogue
CEREMONY WEAPONS Like the scepters and the batons of command are symbols of power and authority that denote the rank of the person who holds them. They are not weapons of combat, which is the same as weapons, but as their name indicates they are destined to be carried in ceremonies and official acts. They are copies or imitations of real weapons, which have the same appearance but not the same effectiveness, although they are usually more decorated and presented with a more attractive appearance. Mazes, swords, daggers and axes are the most used ceremonial weapons by kings, chiefs and dignitaries in traditional Africa.
