Outstanding Gogo Rungu
Ball headed clubs or “rungu” (marungu plural) as they are called in Swahili are ubiquitous across a broad swath of East Africa, particularly among cattle herding peoples. The WaPare, Chaga, Nyamwezi, Hehe and others may carry marungu while watching their herds or walking in the bush. This dramatic and beautiful rungu came identified as Gogo. Filed collected twenty years ago, it’s well handled patina and outstanding form set it apart from lesser and more recent examples. 20.5″ tall, mounted on a custom base.
