Question

A hero uses this object to kill the sacred dragon Kirimu, prompting that hero to receive reprimands while visiting the realms of the Sun, (15[1])Moon, and Stars. This object is the final one wagered during a game of wiki against a fire deity, which occurs after a confrontation at the cave of an aardvark deity. A hero is born from his mother’s middle finger wielding a rope, a bag of luck, an adze, and this object. That (15[1])hero beats this object against bones to resurrect the people of Tubondo after (*) Nkuba decimates their village, and earlier waves it to resurrect the loser of a dancing contest named Kasiyembe. This object saves its master from an assault by a magical cowrie-studied belt, after which this object repeatedly beats the death god Muisa into the ground. For 10 points, name this powerful magical object wielded by the Congolese hero Mwindo. (0[2])■END■
