Nyamwezi Mwana Hiti Spoon Tanzania

As for almost all the peoples in the South of Sahara, the Nyamwezi embellish daily objects and make them real pieces of art. Depending upon the visual embellishment and complexity of imagery, carved staves served as badges of office indicating a chief, an elder, or someone of status. Staves can also simply be walking sticks or a dance wand. Staves were meant to be seen in public and admired as works of art while serving to support one as they walk to conduct ceremonies. Being supported by a carved staff also served as metaphor as the staff provided symbolic support as well as physical support. Staves were an indicator that its owner was a man of importance and one fully initiated into Nyamwezi religion and symbolism as the hairstyle on the top. 146243
