| Beschrijving voorzijde | Flat, asymmetrical iron currency piece of the Kundja type, hand-forged by the Basongo-Meno people of the Congo Basin. The object features a broad, laterally flared blade with a trapezoidal or fan-shaped body, tapering to a narrow elongated tang terminating in a small flattened foot or ferrule. The surface is undecorated and exhibits a characteristic dark iron patina consistent with age and use. The overall form is reminiscent of a stylized spearhead or axe-blade, produced through traditional African iron-smithing techniques. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse presents the same hand-forged iron construction as the obverse, with a broad asymmetrical blade and an elongated narrow tang ending in a small flattened terminal. The surface is plain and unadorned, displaying a heavily oxidized dark brown to black patina throughout. Slight hammer marks and surface irregularities are consistent with traditional hand-forging methods. No inscriptions, symbols, or decorative elements are present on either face of this proto-monetary object. |
