Knob (Knobkierie?)

Probably a club carved from a single piece of hardwood with a round, smoothly polished handle and a spherical pommel at the upper end. The handle has notches cut into the surface in places. It is possibly a so-called Knobkierie (Knobkerrie), a club or baton mould from southern and eastern Africa. The provenance is unknown.
