Various war clubs

The middle one, with the twist, looks as though it is intended to emulate a phallus from some large mammal. It looks to be carved from wood, so I'm not saying it is indeed one, but the shape suggests it came from a culture that would fashion items from animal penises. Either that, or I need Freud to tell me "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar"!

Overall, they have an African 'feel' to me, but I am no expert, so wait for those with actual knowledge to weigh in.
