Well. fancy meeting you here!
I know that club!
It has been doing me the favor of keeping the dust off the wall for a decade or so.
Now that he's going back into the flow, I took another look. Love the scarification. Tribal appropriate design, I'd guess, of the Makonde in Tanzania.
I think that you will be happy with it.
All packaged and going out Mon!
Thanx
enjoy
peace

Hi Lew,

unfortunatly this is a product for the tourists. The club has all the same patina and the head is rudimentary. See exemples of a staff top and a fly whisk from the Makonde.

Yours, Carlo

For the record and later reference, here are the auction pictures.

It's still an interesting piece and quite heavy.

Hi lew,

you didn't pay to much for your club, and most imported: you're enjoying it !!
Just wanted to tell you that the club isn't so old as you would think it is...

I figure it's probably 1950s-60s

. It's certainly not new the patina is not artificially applied.
