Default Oceanic Adze for comment

just got this one on e-pray. as a "polynesian/fijian war club"

reminds me of the maori ceremonial greenstone (jade) adzes that chiefs used as weapons/badges of rank.

vendor's pictures were quite dark, so i tarted this one up to show the grain & some details of the tiki carving. 22 in. stone looks dark grey (granite?). color may be different tho. fibre binding looks a bit weak for real use tho.

will take some better HD ones when it arrives, if the sun comes out...
