Hi Colin,
thanks for your input.

I suspect the correct term this staff is a "fimbo" .....a weapon, walking stick and defensive implement (used in conjuction with a Same or spear) rolled into one. The preferred length is 1.2 m - 1.5 m ....with the 1.2m , apparently more popular. If Masai, this fimbo would have been owned by a Moran, as it is a dark wood version.
