Various war clubs

For me clubs numbers 2, 4 and 8 are made of bone for sure. I'm less sure about 6 and 7, but it also looks a bit like it.
Number 4 is made from the bone that is inside the horn (Probably Taurotragus oryx).
If the number 6 is indeed a bone I think it is made from an ulna of a large herbivorous mammal, the same for the 8.

It would be nice to have some measurements and more individual pictures. Very interesting, some do appear to be smoked bone. I like the white bone one in particular.
