| Ritualist's stick, Kaguru people - Tanzania 18.5"/47cm tall wood, glass beads I especially love the abstract nature of the animal represented on the top of the stick and the well worn patina. It's been a favorite in my collection of staffs for many years. SOLD "Sticks, as they are called, are shorter than staffs and were sometimes used by leaders as emblems of rank, but mainly by ritualists to cast spells and cleanse people, houses, or ritual enclosures." - Mwana Hiti by Marc L.
