Just wanted to add this as it is quite interesting. It could also be a question, are these phallic stick clubs/batons possibly an Ethiopian tradition? I was hoping to include an ebay picture of the same three head motif on another stick only the size of a walking stick or staff but sadly I must have deleted it by mistake when clearing watched items. Here is a box, a suspect a snuff box judging by the black powder remains inside, carved as a bible. Look at the carved letters. The stick has one less but I think they are meant to be the same word. They are carved in the same manner but not by the same hand or in the same time. A coincidence the carvers having the same name? The name of a place of origin? I do not know but just goes to show one has to look far and wide for clues.
