Hello dear members,
What do you think of this one ?
Broken paddle ? a genuine oceanian or african club ?
Light wood: 400gramms /70cm long.

Samoan, probably early 20th century.

Thank's a lot Tim for your message !
I think really too light to be a ''real'' club,
More a deco- tourist item ( at this period ?🤔 )
Or something ceremonial.
