Another {magic/blessed} African stick?

Some might find this sort of thing stretching the boundaries. To me it is perfectly reasonable to include this sort of thing here on this weapons forum. Civil weapons, status symbols derived as mentioned before from martial weapons like mace and club. Also magic weapons? This stick arrived today. As you can see it has not been made specifically to make contact with the ground. Finished with a steel thimble and some brass wire. What I like most of all is the magic substance, blessing indeed magic blessing stuck on it. This makes me think of a central to west African origin. The main stick is inserted into the knop, it is possible that magic was put in there too?
