Look what I found in the corner of my office : a stick !
I remember purchasing this one quite some time ago. I forgot about it. According to the seller it came from Africa. Could well be a stick from Rwanda, as can be seen from Spiral's article.
I wonder what the iconographic explanation of the grip of this piece is. After looking at it for some time, I can see the image of a person...? Or am I wrong ?
Anyway... the total length is 112,5 cm. At the bottom, a metal spike has been added (length : 24 cm) for sticking it into the ground.
For me, this stick is a bit too long to be an ordinary walking cane. I would rather call it a staff.
