South Africa wooden staff for identification

Hello Belgian,

The staff is nice and interesting ! Unfortunately I am not expert in this field...
I think there was no reply for a complete four days since the theme is specialized and narrow (at least from my point of view; maybe Zemanek-Muenster Auction House could give you some advice) and the base of the people with this knowledge is not big. At the same time, there are I think people interested but without big knowledge - and in our hectic times they did not find time to study specialized literature (my case ...). And also not everybody is giving/clicking "like" if they have nothing more to say (unfortunately also my case).
Best,
Martin

I have a feeling that this could be Chokwe or somewhere around there.

Very nice old staff from Southern Africa. With positive provenance it is not easy to say exactly where in Southern and South Africa as styles are not fixed. It is a nice piece.
