Large Pacific Island club
I bought this at auction a short while back. It's in a nice condition. It is old and appears to be stone carved. Surprisingly light though for such a large club. It still has the fibre on the handle, and this shows a fair bit of age.
I've concluded this is a Tongan apa'apai. However, I'm not entirely sure.
It has very little ornament. It is big.
That's about all I know about it.
If anybody knows what it is and has anything more to add, I'd appreciate your comments.
