Whether serving as an heirloom that will be passed down for generations, being used as a symbol of the land in which it was forged, or used as a celebration of the art of bladesmithing that shaped human history, both in fiction and reality, the African Poto Sword is waiting for one to claim it. This modern take on the famous blade from the Ngombe serves in part as a blade for ceremony. The Poto Sword served as a status symbol for its holder, which would have only been a person of high-rank. The sword would have commonly reflected its owner’s presitge in the community. This one was forged completely by hand and with the skill and care of a smith that uses this craft to support his family. If you claim this blade as your own, you carry on the legacy of the hammer and anvil that shaped it.
