Tanzanian swagger/fighting stick?

[Tim Simmons]

David, I am going to keep this short and greatly summarised so as not to get bogged down. Your stick is modern and from Nigeria and is based on a traditional Yoruba image. In old pieces the female is always naked except sometimes for a string of beads around the waist. The kneeling naked position is adopted when greeting the creator, I could provide names but would never really be 100% I was correct just now. The figure is mostly seen with her hands resting or appearing to lift her breasts which completes the gesture, which is rather quaint, do not laugh as this is seriously so. I have a modern staff that dissplays this, note the same neck on the figure. I also post some old items from Fagg, Pemberton, Holcombe Yoruba, Sculpture of west Africa. A mirror board and priests divination tapper. Short I know but pionts in the right direction.
