Kpinga (Hunga Munga) Throwing Knife - AZANDE - D.R. CONGO
Nice and rare Kpinga (also called the Hunga Munga) was a bladed throwing knife used by the Azande of Nubia.
Soldiers would carry three or four into battle, hidden behind their shields. They were typically thrown 30 feet from the enemy.
They were classed as "Court Metal", being produced under the patronage of the Avongara clan, and distributed only to professional warriors and considered status symbols.
