Staff surmounted by a seated man wearing a hat, jacket, trousers and shoes holding a book. The man and chair rest on a round flat platform. Below the platform are three bands of decoration - a bulb with short cylindrical projections; found raised elongated 'O' shapes and two narrow bands of pleats.
THis staff may be by Muhlati. Junod wrote: 'The finest specimen of Native art that I ever saw is the carving of a huge panther about to devour a human being, the work of Muhlati, a sculptor living in the neighbourhood of Lourenço Marques. This artist, who was very proud of his work, and asked a tolerably high price for it, claimed to be able to carve anything and everything: birds, four-footed beasts, or men. He was famous throughout the land for his talent.
