IT LOOKS LIKE IT DOES HAVE A NICE PATINA, TOO BAD IF IT WAS RECENTLY CUT OFF. SOME OF THESE AFRICAN CLUBS WERE LONGER AND LIGHTER AND HAD A SMALLER HEAD AND SERVED MORE AS A BADGE OF RANK THAN AS A BATTLE WEAPON. THE HIGH RANKING PEOPLE NEED NOT KILL AS THEY COULD ORDER OTHERS TO DO IT. OR A GOOD SHARP BONK WITH HIS BATON COULD SERVE AS PUNISHMENT AND WARNING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TRIBE THIS CLUB MAY HAVE COME FROM PERHAPS SOMEONE WITH MORE KNOWLEDGE IN AFRICAN AND ZULU ITEMS CAN HELP.
