Polynesian war club (or maori?)

ah, well. have asked the vendor if they have any more info on where/when it came from. they might answer. looks like nice wood
anyway. i've seen a modern interpretation carved by someone in france that was on offer for a substantial price.

i noted during research that not all wahaika have a tiki, only 99.999%

didn't see any like this. maybe that's why they listed it as 'polynesian' rather than maori.

from what i can see of the prices, i can't afford a real antique one, so am limited to more modern 'vintage' productions.
