THAT JUST ABOUT COVERS MAORI ITEMS THAT ARE PRIMARILY WEAPONS. I WILL INCLUDE A FEW TOOLS AND CEREMONIAL ITEMS THAT WOULD SERVE AS WEAPONS WHEN NEEDED.
#1 THRU #6 . KO, A MAORI SPADE OR DIGGING STICK, WOULD MAKE A GOOD WEAPON IF SURPRISED IN THE FIELD. THERE ARE SOME OTHER AGRICULTURAL TOOLS IN ONE PICTURE.
#7. MAORI MAULS NOT VERY EFFICIENT BUT IF YOU CONNECTED THEY WOULD MAKE A BIG IMPRESSION.
#8. MAORI 48 X 7 CM. DANCE PADDLE
#9. MAORI DANCE PADDLE 50 INCHES LONG
#10. MAORI FLAX BEATER
#11. & #12. MAORI CEREMONIAL CHIEFS PADDLES CALLED HOE
