Cool

UNFORTUNATELY I CAN'T ADD MUCH TO WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PRESENTED. HAVING ALWAYS FOUND THIS TYPE CLUB TO BE A FAVORITE OF MINE I HAVE LOOKED AT AND DROOLED OVER THEM FOR MANY YEARS. BUT MY POCKETS ARE NOT DEEP ENOUGH TO GET A GOOD OLD ONE.
SOME HAVE LESS DESIGNS AND THERE IS A RANGE IN THE SIZE OF THE CLUBS. PERHAPS AS YOU GAINED MANNA THRU VANQUSHING OR DISTINGUSING YOUR SELF IN BATTLE YOU WERE ALLOWED TO MOVE UP TO A LARGER CLUB AND ADD MORE DECORATIONS TO SHOW YOUR RANK AND FAME. I WILL ADD A FEW PICTURES TO SWEETEN THE POST.
NOTE ONE PICTURE SHOWS THE BONE HEAD WHO CLEANED OUT GAUGIN'S HOUSE AND BURNED ALL HIS BELONGINGS BEFORE MOVING IN HIMSELF. I BET THAT WAS ONE SICK POLITICIAN WHEN HE FOUND HE HAD BURNED A FORTUNE BECAUSE HE DIDN'T LIKE GAUGIN.

I have this title on my list of interesting books, it may hold clues too.

~ Patterns That Connect ~
Social Symbolism in Ancient Art
by Carl Schuster & Edmund Carpenter

This large volume has hundreds of amazing photographs and drawings of a tremendous number of patterns in culture that connect one civilization to another.
