Interesting ( really strange ) ritual staff or paddle,
Seems old- can be 19th century, The shaft with the black laquer-paint on a red color reminds me japanese or chinese multi laquered wooden stuff ( Okinawa ceremonial spear-club ... ) The ''bird head'' as you say seems made of palmwood and looks indonesian/Borneo or, Sepik/Papua New Guinea (Just a feeling.) Multicultural mix...?..?. |
