Thumbs up Vanuatu club {SPLENDIFEROUS}

At great sacrifice I am now the proud owner of this most attractive club. It is hard to portray just how lovely it is. Think of the finest most luxourious, silky Swiss choclate turned into wood. The club is so tactile in a way that a knife or sword can never be. Also unlike Fijian Ulas comparitively rare. The seller and myself could not believe such little interest. I think sometimes very or overly large pictures and high starting prices put people off. It goes with the food knife and bowl. It has taken over a decade to assemble this trio. A feast for the eyes.

This link gives an added frisson. The inlanders enjoyed several missionaries for lunch at the turn of the 19/20th cent .
