Someone bought this as?
Antique BALL HEADED WAR CLUB Eastern Woodland Indian Effigy Face Pewter Tacks. Sold for a high price in money, do you think it was bought knowing it is African? I don't think so. I will not and the ebay link as we are not supposed to talk about money. However knowledge is power. Are we here to educate ? or what ?

I am not sure that the club in discussion is old or antique, the chips show rather bright wood, could it be rather recent?

I might be mistaken, but have some doubt whether this is a club.
Reason: the lower or bottom part of the handle looks quite thin for a clubbing waepon. It might break easily when used with force on a non-soft object... Hence my thought it to be a kind / type of statue-like or ceremonial object. But then again as stated, I might be wrong...:confused: |

Usually the effigy war clubs are from the Penobscot, occasionally Plains. Those are also usually recent. This doesn't look Penobscot nor Native American.
Also I would agree with a more recent manufacture. |
Took me some time to find it. There are more on the site. Common wit Belgian collectors.
