UNÛ by Bruno Claessens

UNÛ presents 106 exceptional prestige weapons in a luxurious publication celebrating the virtuosity of African blacksmiths. Carefully selected by Jacques Billen and Bruno Claessens, most of these knives, swords, and axes were never published before and among the best of their type. A most interesting addendum by Dominique Métral explores the Arabic inscriptions on Sudanese Mahdist arms, while Bruno Claessens explores the work of the Zande artist Songo. QR-codes in the inventory link to 3D presentations online of a selected group of weapons. UNÛ distances African weapons from their ethnographic and celebrates them as timeless works of Art in this sumptuous new must-have catalog.
