Hi guys ,any ideas on the origins ,only 21 inches long .
|
I have no clue unfortunately, but it look maybe from Africa? thats what I think though.
Good luck :) |
Magnificent!!!! They look like Congo clubs to me. Maybe more like East African.
|
Really nice... :) ....almost certainly African....although I haven't seen the 'conical' type before.
|

Tchokwe have clubs like yours, but they are not very known by weapons collectors.
So, maybe they are from this part of Congo/Angola. Some pics for exemples . Luc |

That is a very nice set you have, I like the the new ball head one the most. Just what one needs.

Nice
Very nice collection.
I think Luc is right in saying these are Tshokwe (or Chokwe). If they are lightweight, perhaps they were only used for dancing. I have one in my collection which could also be Tshokwe. It's not as nicely carved as yours, but it's heavy enough to use as a weapon. Length is 58 cm. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...eelding521.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...eelding522.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...eelding523.jpg |
Yes nice set, clubs are not easy to present on a stand, you have to find a good idea to show them !
