Ethiopian clubs
Allow me to share pictures of three clubs comming from Ethiopia. The top one (on the group photo) should be Basketo or Amaro. The middle one is very strange and special for me, since I bought it in the region, where I would not pressupose "occurence of clubs" - near Dire Dawa, 15 years ago. There were two men walking on the road, both of them carrying this club. So this is one of them. I did not ask "which language they spoke by origin", so I do not know the tribe, but I think they could be Oromo people. The lowest one is made of Ebony wood and was brought by my friend from south-western part of Ethiopia. It looks like Shiluk, but they do not live there. Unfortunately, at that time I was starting collecting and I was not aware of importance of exact depiction. I would be especially interested in opinion re. the two lower clubs, if anybody have the same ones and where from etc. Thanks
Regards Martin |

Many forms are found in the IIemi triangle. The shiny black one is very nice to fondle. Makes me sound a touch sick

Forget to add this one. You cannot resist the temptation to fondle

The nipple to the top of some of these....likely inspires the fondling....is this aspect found in other regions?
