two new African clubs

And here's a not so obvious African club.

This piece also comes from the Lobi in Burkina Faso. Men use these pieces as small stools when they go out. It's quite heavy (over 1 kg) and they very conveniently added a handle to this stool....so they can use them as a club when they get into to a fight.
Some have a head or figure carved on one end, other are just plain tripods.

Length : 42 cm. Height : 20 cm
