Hello Kai,
all I could find was this picture it is object number H-2966 and it is described a a Winti priests magic broom. there are pictures from another angle Apparently there are lots ob objects identified as magic brooms used by winti priests . This shape struck me as very similar to the object above. |

no I found another similar broom object in this Dutch book
https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/lege004ba...01_01_0010.php these objects weren't offered on any sale they are museum pieces. the OP here may have more on that particular object but it has been a long time from the publication here for the first time. |

Hello Detlef,

It seems just as common on Flores and Séverin apparently found 2 close matches also attributed to Flores. I'd be really interested to see pics of those finds! Unfortunately, I did not saw this thread back then... Regards, Kai |
