Acquired recently in Nigeria. My idea is the one like a "stick with spearhead" could be Chamba, the copper alloy one again from Nigeria/Cameroon borderland (maybe for circumcision /???/ ceremony), the wooden one is puzzle for me (but already the second of its type I have seen here, should be from the south). Any comment is welcome, also re the purpose of use. Thanks

Lovely pieces! Sort of reminds me of Tibetan phurba (although they're not).

Chamba is a good idea for the two first. Same position of the arms on the figures Chamba, and same strange head.

Many thanks.
Any idea about the wooden "sword" with small mirror ? People here say Igala, but I think it is just to say something...
