ITS DIFFICULT TO TELL WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT FROM THE PICTURES. I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS FORM OF CLUB OR ANYTHING RESEMBELING IT AND THE USE OF SUCH A THICK UNFINISHED COATING OF AMBER /RESIN IS A NEW ONE FOR ME.
FROM WHAT I CAN SEE IT WOULD APPEAR THE WOOD WAS EITHER A NATURAL FORK OR HAS BEEN SPLIT. THE STONE WAS PLACED IN THE FORK AND THE TWO ENDS LASHED TOGETHER ABOVE IT, THEN SENU OR RAWHIDE STRAPS CROSSED TO FURTHER SECURE IT AND THEN RESIN APPLIED COVERING THE ENTIRE THING.
IS THE STONE COVERED IN HIDE OR IS IT POSSIBLE TO SEE THE ACTUAL STONE?? IF YOU CAN SEE THE STONE CAN YOU TELL IF A GROVE HAS BEEN PECKED IN IT WHERE THE TWO WOOD STRAPS ARE.
WHAT ABOUT THE BEADS ON THE TASSELS ON THE OTHER CLUB ARE THEY OLD OR NEW?? IF NEW IT MAY BE SAFE TO ASSUME THE PAINT AND CLUB ARE MORE RECENT.
