No, patina don't mean that something is very old but used extensiv over years. And the patination on the stick look good and real while the patination on the figures look somewhat doutful. The patination on the stick is what ethnograhic collectors look for IMHO.
The carving on the figures look similar but the chin-beard let it look somewhat different.
Anyway, it's a very nice status-stick/club.

Regards,
Detlef
