NICEE!
Is that copper band in the middle for reinforcement or a repair?

Nice piece ! Never seen one with copper bands.

OK, Tim. You have asked for it. Here is one of mine : It has a faceted head and some decorative wirework near the bottom of the handle.

Freddy I think you might out knobkerrie me. Do we need rule? Perhaps anything that has a roundish lump on the end? I post this years ago and said it was Chokwe. The one with the black back ground is from "5 continents, The Art of Southern Africa"
