I don't have a decent digital camera at present, but a couple of references are :-

Barrie Reynolds "The Material Culture of the Peoples of the Gwembe Valley" 1966, Page 104, fig 25.

South African website www.ezakwantu.com has a similar-type piece.

I shall try to find some more and post them.

Regards, Colin

A Dutch friend of mine has a similar piece. It's the one in the middle. I've been trying to get it into my collection for quite some time. One day, I will succeed

He thinks it comes from East-Africa.

Here's a pic :
