I LIKE IT A LOT
UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE LITTLE INFORMATION ON AFRICAN STICK/ STAFF/ CLUBS. I CAN MAKE A FEW OBSERVATIONS ALL LOGICAL CONJECTURE.
IT WOULD HAVE LIKELY BEEN CARRIED DURING NORMAL VILLAGE LIFE AND NOT TO WAR. JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING TO SETTLE FRIENDLY ARGUMENTS AND LIKELY THE CARVINGS ON THIS ONE NOTED SOME RANK OR PRESTIEGE. THE PICTURE WITH THE DOUBLE DESIGN KIND OF REMINDS ME OF A CROCODILES BACK. IT IS LIKELY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN USED AS A CLUB (TOO SHORT FOR PRACTICAL STAFF FIGHTING). THE LARGER STRIKEING END WOULD NORMALLY BE RESTED ON THE GROUND WHEN IN POLITE COMPANY TO SHOW YOU WERE PEACEFUL. THIS PICTURE OF FUZZY WUZZIES IS AS CLOSE TO SIZE AND USE AS I CAN COME. PERHAPS SOMEONE WITH MORE KNOWLEGE IN ALL THINGS AFRICAN CAN PROVIDE BETTER INFO. GOOD LUCK
