Idoma (?) club

[Martin Lubojacky]

I acquired this club in Douala, the seller told me it was Idoma tribe from Nigeria. Could anybody confirm this identification ? Thanks

Martin. I missed this topic but glad I found it. I have this, I have always thought it to be East African could be South African???. 70 cm long, sorry the pictures are so poor but it is dark now. The ears are interesting and the male patern baldness.

Tim,
Thank you for photos of interesting club/staff. Unfortunately, clubs are my week point (among many others, I do not know too much about them, just I have from Ethiopia and this one). But realy - maybe South Africa ? We have much more skilled forumites here to answer this question
Nevertheless, look at http://www.ezakwantu.com/Gallery%20African%20Staffs%20-%20Canes%20-%20Status%20Objects%20-%20Scepters.htm - "Venda - Tsonga"
Regards,

Martin
