Authentic Art and Ethnographic Objects From Africa / Custom Mounting Services
Gogo clubs with zoomorphic and anthropomorphic finials represent about one percent of all Gogo marungu. Of the zoomorhic examples the vast majority depict rabbits or dikdiks, small antelopes with large ears indigenous to East Africa. Both animals have totemic and folkloric importance to the Gogo. This example represents a rabbit. It is a beautifully crafted, well used and deeply patinated specimen dating to the third quarter of the 20th Century.
