African clubs are my favourite collector's items.

A lot of the pieces we find here in Belgium are not Zulu or Swazi. They usually come from Tanzania : Gogo, Masaai, etc...

Here are two pieces of my collection : the biggest one and the smallest. To give you an idea. The tall one measures 70 cm and weighs about 0,5 kg. Real heavy ! Perfect for 'knocking one's brains out' as Tim said.
The smaller one only measures 31,5 cm and weighs 100 gr. Nevertheless it's well constructed and made of dense wood. It's probably not as deadly as the first, but it would definitively hurt (for a while).

I was told that both are Gogo.
