Very nice Lew,
do you know whether the 'concave' upper surface of the club has any practical or functional use ? Regards David |

It has a purpose. Zulu warriors would rub animal fat into the concave surface in this way the oils from the fat would seep down into the head and keep it from drying out and cracking. Lew |
