I have recently obtained this Papuan club. It has yet to arrive. The head is an eight pointed star stone of approx 13cm diameter and a total length of 128cm. This is longer than the long Baining stone clubs which have the pointed wood halft end. It is clearly Papuan but as yet I have not been able to find information on what region of papuan New Giunea it come from. so before it arrives I wonder if anybody else might have more information with pictures? The pictures are the sellers but I have resized them. Although the pictures show the basic form it is not possible to get any idea of the qualities of the stone and how it may have been made from them.
