FOUND A MODERN EXAMPLE OF A DRUM WITH A STICK OF THE SIMULAR SHAPE. REFERRED TO AS A TALKING DRUM, FOUND IN WEST AFRICA AND SURROUNDING AREAS WHERE ITS USE LIKELY SPREAD.
SIMULAR SHAPED DRUM STICKS MAY BE USED ELSEWHERE AND PERHAPS A SIMULAR FORM OF STICK MAY INDEED BE USED ON INUIT AND OTHER TRIBES AND PERHAPS EVEN IN TIBET??
ANYWAY THEY HAVE A HAND HELD DRUM IN AFRICA USING THIS STICK FORM.

Plausible again Vandoo, I ve been browsing the internet and the shape does seem to coincide with the drumsticks used on talking drums; The head itself might be a bit big altough, that is, when compared to most african talking drum drumsticks I ve found..But again, it sure is a possibility. I ve adeed some more pics to give an idea of the grain of the wood. The wood itself has kinda dark and light stripes in the grain, generaly lenghtwise. The dark lines tending to be redish-brown. I ve added some pics of the club with the "beak" like shaped head as well, as the first pic I posted didn t show the special features, being the flat surfaces on the side, and the ridge running from the back and over the top.
