HOT KNOB

[Tim Simmons]

Have been watching. Interesting? Not big but lots of money. Is it even Southern African?

ITS CERTIANLY A INTERESTING ITEM. IT SEEMS TO SHOW PRIMATIVE AS WELL AS MORE MODERN TOOLS IN ITS MANUFACTURE AND DOES HAVE A GOOD NATURAL PATINA. AFRICAN CLUBS ARE NOT MY FORTE BUT IT SHOWS SOME DESIGNS IN ITS CONSTRUCTION THAT I DON'T ASSOCIATE WITH AFRICAN ART. IT MAY BE AFRICAN OR OTHERWISE BUT I WOULD CONSIDER ITS USE TO HAVE BEEN MORE FOR STATUS OR CEREMONIAL USE IF IT IS AFRICAN. I LIKE IT BUT NOT AT THAT PRICE. JUST MY 2 CENTS WORTH. :shrug:

I wonder if it may be Chokwe? It is nice but far too high a price. Sure it is African.

It may be Tanzanian but the price was way too high.
