ethno sword cane with curious handle

[francantolin]

Hello dear members,
I just receive this intersting curious sword cane,
The two first pictures were from the seller.

It seems have it’s age ,
Îm akready trying to clean it the best I can

I wonder about the origin :
Afghan ?
Indian ?
Berber / Algerian ?

And about the use ( especially fot the curious handle shape:

A fakir/ dervish kutch ? ( but it’s big, 90cm high)
A status stick more than a walking stick ?( bottom ferule is made of silver )
A drum major mace/stick with concealed blade ?

Glad to hear some news.
Kind regards

Strong green oxydation but seems silver wires,

I first thought it was brass or just fabric / plastic

Here it is,
Now that I can better see the silver decorations,
I think it can come from South Arabia / Yemen.or Soudan
A staff for patriarch hadj man....
sword size, 83cm without scabbard

Symbol for the two half sphere ?
Maybe something missing în the small holes

Or an obvious phallic shape
For an old ethno pimp staff 😅😅

The silver work is spread about broadly; the hilt design is unique in my experience.

ID may reside in the nature and source of the sheath and the woven bits, and the blade.
