Nice East African club,

I do not think every Dinka club has the matal spike. If you search the Pitt Rivers Southern Soudan project site other clubs can be seen with the pointed end. This club is wood.

This is the best form match I have found. Price on request usually means to me- forget it sonny!

Thanks Lew. I have been searching the Pitt Rivers site and not found anything in the form of this club. I wonder whether you show something more related to the north as in South Sudan, Dinka, and so on. What I present being more to the south. If one googles Ngoni, it cover a huge area. Most probably the borders waxed and waned as to how prosperous the seasons were for each neighbouring people. Power not being directly related to technology.

My theory is that your club is from the Southern Sudan and the binding aides gripping it when it is used as a stabbing weapon.

Yes most possible. I am sure that for many hundreds of miles clubs and other general skull smashing weapon design was not written in a bible.
