lovely piece, "witchcraft" might well be a European term but concepts of harmful sorcery are universal. I have a more recent weapon with the same rattan work. I shall post picture, I bet there are regional styles.

Sorry Tim, but i also have problems with relating witchcraft specifically to "harmful sorcery". This is just not historically correct. It is mostly a Christian misconception put forth by the church to discredit competing practices.
