Thank you Lew and Colin for the extra input. Lew, it is a shame that we do not have a resource whereby the wood used to make the clubs is not noted....it would certainly help to ID origins.
Nice club Colin....very unusual, never seen this design before.
Hi Jim,
it indeed would be interesting to found out whether there is symbolism, functional design or aesthetics (or a combination) in the many varied clubs we see from Africa. Afterall the club was one of the earliest weapons...even our primate cousins are know to attack each other wielding sticks.
All the best
David
