The Rungu is a traditional African wooden club used by the Maasai, Samburu, and other East African communities. Originally a symbol of leadership, protection, and strength, the rungu is carried by warriors, elders, and leaders as a sign of authority and power.
Made from hardwood such as mahogany or acacia, the rungu is expertly carved into a short, sturdy club with a rounded head, making it both a ceremonial and functional tool. Historically used for hunting, self-defense, and tribal ceremonies, the rungu is now embraced as a cultural artifact, collectible, and symbol of African heritage.
