New stick to pick over.

Clearly this is African, I was trying only to make a comparison to an AUS Aboriginal weapon I have seen a "version" of Nulla. Here is a quick sketch of the stick weapon I have seen in the past. Sadly untill somebody comes up with one or I find one in a book or a collection the drawing may as well be a Pooh stick.

Hi Tim,
That is much more like the example I had seen in the earlier research where I considered the similarity to the madu and haladie. I wish I could think of where it was I saw it , but it was definitely African tribe using them! The memory slips outa gear more often these days!

Best regards,
Jim

It is here and I think it is fabulous but I like this sort of thing, at four portions a real snip. This picture gives some idea of the feel of the thing. How about a right hook in the neck just under your jaw bone. Nice
