Last Thursday was very good for me, as well as the parang, I also came across this club and a spear, which I shall also show. The OA length is 54cm with a massive head of 34.4cm diameter. I am sure it is not Zulu but it could be from South or Southern Africa. It could also be a throwing club originating from a far greater expanse of South to East Africa. It is carved from a much lighter wieght wood than the usual knobkerrie and being not much longer than a forearm with an out stretched hand, could be thrown with the hand working as another elbow making all elements of the throw balanced. I know Freddy is keen on clubs. Any thoughts? Tim
