Mystery Wooden Club!
 

I am a collector of clubs (among many other things!) and for a long time I've been trying to identify the old, used and nicely patinated club below. I have been assured it is not Oceanic and there is disagreement among experts whether it is from Africa - it isn't Zula anyhow. ChatGPT analysed the style of carving on the grip section of the handle and insists it is from SE Asia, however, I have not found any mention on the Internet of ball-headed clubs from that region (but the mentions may be in Dutch). Does anyone recognise this type of club? Note, that the rings on the handle are hand carved - not turned on a lathe, and that the club is 54.5 cm long. Thanks!
