Another {magic/blessed} African stick?

I think there may be some confusion over Shongo and Songye. I have not given the full context but it is plain to see. The patterns could have more significance than a children's game. Possibly tapping into a kind of natural rhythm or magic. The pattern on the blade is the same as the one ringed. As for the stick it could be a kind of official counting or tally stick. The magic substance marking it as special and fit for office?
