Authentic Art and Ethnographic Objects From Africa / Custom Mounting Services
This 26″ long club is as much prestige staff as it is weapon. It’s ball end isn’t weighty enough for any sort of serious defense. Kinked shafts are something of a signature element in the carved staffs and swagger sticks of the Mwera people. Several Mwera staffs housed in the collection of the Berlin Museum since before World War I exhibit this unusual quirk. The Mwera live just north of the Makonde in southeast Tanzania. Mounted on a custom base.
