UNUSUAL TOOTHED CLUB, THIS ONE HAS ME STUMPED SO FAR IT RESEMBLES THE SHARK TOOTH WEAPONS BUT ONLY HAS TEETH DOWN ONE SIDE AND THE TEETH MAY BE SCALES. THE SHAFT IS PALM WOOD PERHAPS FROM THE HEAVY WOODY STEM PART OF A LARGE PALM FROND THE FIBER CORD APPEARS TO BE NATIVE MADE AND THE ENTIRE ITEM SHOWS AGE, PATINA AND WEAR. THE TEETH/SCALES ARE VERY SHARP AND WILL CUT FLESH EASILY. THE CLUB IS 27 INCHES LONG. THIS COULD BE FOR CEREMONIAL USE BUT WOULD ALSO MAKE A FORMIDBLE WEAPON.
