Bakora Staff

A bakora staff is an object possessed by the Royal Mjuzi.
== Information ==
A bakora staff is used to allow the Royal Mjuzi to hear the spirits of the Lions of the Past - both Great and Evil. It can also be used to bring paintings on walls to life.
It is essential for an apprentice to have found a staff before being officially introduced to the royal family.
Sometimes a Royal Mjuzi or apprentice will have more than one stick that can act as their bakora staff if their previous one gets damaged or stolen, as seen in The Rise of Scar and Let's Help Rafiki!.
All bakora staffs have two gourds tied on near the top of the branch - one for the future, and one for the past. Some bakora staffs can also be decorated with flowers and leaves.
