Hi Tim,
Thanks I'll read through that in a mo  Any thoughts on the decoration? Hi Fearn , The club in the picture is like mine, not Tim's isn't it? Are you mixing us up? I can understand you assuming any club thread is Tims

Did the Caribbean Caribs use the same style club? I heard they called theirs a "boutou"??
Just curious

Anyway, AFAIK, people in Guyana do use those square headed clubs on the heads of known or suspected Kanaima sorcerers. That's why I suggested reading Neil Whitehead's book. It's pretty gruesome stuff, and I suspect there's a reason his author pic shows him holding one of those clubs. F |

 Jesus! So even a modern one might have actually killed someone! Thats a bit unsettling. Notice how they stand up on their own? Like a little wooden bottle of bad karma. Last edited by Atlantia; 30th July 2011 at 08:30 PM. |

Well, if the edge of the macana isn't dented, I wouldn't worry about it.
That said, if you read about what the kanaima do, it makes sense. It's sort of like Van Helsing holding up a stake in his author picture, except that the kanaima are real. F |

The design has one dot in each section on three of the sides, but on the fourth it's different.

Have investigated the bindings and there is no damage, just 'bunching up', so all it needed was to be carefully teased back into place.
I think it's looking quite good now, what do you think? |
