picked this one up on ebay today, looks more hand carved than most 'vintage' ones, patina looks older, square cut lanyard hole, grunge in the recesses, lack of added fancy carving. hopefully an older one. fibre lanyard looks new. bit larger than my others. 16 in. x 5 in. x 1 in. approx. - matai wood.

any comments appreciated. thanks in advance....

(vendor's pictures, the hand is holding it upside down, the striking side is opposite the tiki god, who looks over your shoulder to protect your back.
