That is a very nice set you have, I like the the new ball head one the most. Just what one needs.

Thumbs up Nice

Very nice collection.

I think Luc is right in saying these are Tshokwe (or Chokwe).

If they are lightweight, perhaps they were only used for dancing.

I have one in my collection which could also be Tshokwe. It's not as nicely carved as yours, but it's heavy enough to use as a weapon. Length is 58 cm.

Yes nice set, clubs are not easy to present on a stand, you have to find a good idea to show them !
