Here is a recent buy , a fijian paddle club kinikini , reserved for chiefs and priests i believe , difficult to age such a piece , i expect its a 19th century one ?
125cm n length and very heavy , ive taken one picture with a nice tongan whale tooth necklace

Good pieces, congratulations. I like the necklace particularly.

Nice example, looking at the patina and wear, 19th century is most plausible.
