Hi all,
Here are some of my oceanic pieces.
Starting with some from Fiji. All date from early to mid 19th C.
Left to right.

Kiakavo: used for dance & ceremony.

Totokia: Made to peck a hole in the skull without the use of a long swing. Totokia maining "to peck like a chicken"
This is a nice heavy big one, measures 40".

Gata waka: One of the most widely used in fiji.

Culacula / Kinikini: Chief's club, used for fighting and deflecting incoming arrow.This example is huge at 51" and carved in low re-leaf all over. but has suffered mass battle damage.

Small Bowai: These small clubs commonly called "wife beaters" were use in the chiefly house hold to keep order. Maybe Tongan

Culacula: Made to snap and cut though bone. Maybe Tongan.
