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, 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 (15[1])is born from his mother’s middle finger wielding a rope, a bag of luck, an adze, and this object. That 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 (10[1])of a dancing (10[1])contest named Kasiyembe. This object saves its master from an assault while that hero grows a banana grove in a single day. After helping fend off that magical cowrie-studied belt, 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■
