Catalogue Note
cf. Beaujean-Baltzer (2009 : n° 34) pour une autre récade dépourvue de lame, attribuée au roi Béhanzin, conservée au musée du quai Branly (n° 71.1931.36.11). Les oiseaux qui composent ici le motif symbolique rappellent une des sentences prononcées par un roi ou par un chef de lignage princier.
