Most curious knobkerrie/stick?

Douglas say Interesting head with rather pointy ears and male pattern boldness, a devil, a devil white man? A weird one but of traditional form except the style of carving for the face. If you don't know. plagerize, maybe you will fool someone.

I haven't studied up on the knobkerries, can't help you.

Well you might have been a world authority

I am sure it is from Kenya. Just a feeling.

Maybe it is a Vulcan war club kind of reminds me of Mr. Spock

Tim, Lew and David, these African clubs of yours are becoming quite appealing to my eyes. I'm thinking I should definitely start hunting for these

The face also looks a lot like that of a hippopotamus, stylized and frontal, but hippo nonetheless. If Kenya and Tanzania are likely origins, such an animal would make sense no?

There are a number of monkey species resident in Africa which have pointed ears, Baboons have slightly pointed ears.....and are incredibly fierce looking when in an aggressive mood.....however, the MPB 'contours' are a mystery....
Unless there IS a 'Trekkie' Knobkerrie maker who decided to 'morph' Spock with Capt. Jean-Luc Picard
