de forme foliacée, en peau de vache travaillée au repoussé pour faire apparaître sur la face un décor de lignes grenées en pointillé, dessinant des motifs symétriques. Belle opposition entre la rigueur géométrique du fond à épaisse patine brune (avec traces de pigments ocre rouge), et les larges motifs curvilignes aux dessins asymétriques, appliqués au kaolin autour de la protubérance centrale. Le dos est muni d'un manche de portage, l'ensemble caractéristique de cette arme d'attaque et de défense utilisée par les peuples nilotiques.
Condition
