Default Solomon Isl's help.

This really for the lurkers out there that know a lot about the Solomons and other Island groups. I know they are there as some have contacted me and even bought from me. I have this club/dance staff/cult staff club or made for sale? it does not strike me as a sale piece.
Shark form with an anthropomorphic {small mouth} aspect seen in the close up on one side of the item. It is made from the same wood as weapon clubs so it is quite weighty and could easily be used as a weapon but I do not really see it as a weapon. There is some age to it subject to the usual factors. I am showing it here with other shark cult/totem items from the British Museum data base. A lime stick and a building totem sculpture. Any information or discussion would be greatly appreciated.
