Hi Folks,
Thank you all very much for the kind welcomes,and thank you for your valued opinions.Thank you also for posting images from the Clunie reference.I do have the Clunie book,as well as many others that I have been able to find,regarding Fiji,and Pacific/Oceanic tribal art.I was of the opinion that this could be,what was referred to as a "wife beater" being so short in length? I do remember reading of such clubs in Clunie's book,or perhaps Fiji and the Fijians.I also thought the top half of the handle had a bit of what looks like Maori influence? 60+ clubs is really rather modest when one considers the vast variety/selection,and variations of clubs throughout the Pacific region.In Fiji alone,one might assume.....just by looking at Fergus Clunie's publishing,that with the many styles,and variations of clubs found in Fiji.......60+ is modest.Nevertheless...thank you all once again and I will hopefully return with some more queries in the near future.I am trying to post a few more images for those who asked.Thank you,Michael
