MAORI TOOL OR WEAPON

Indianajones · 2nd February 2012, 12:00 PM

Actually this topic is has brought up something quite interesting as there might be a relation between the Patu as a weapon or ceremonial object and the idea of using the coconut-basher-tool as a weapon! 'If it can crack a coconut than it must be able to crack a skull aswell' they <perhaps> must have thought.

Also the relation between women/female objects and warfare is widespread in whole S.E-Asia (and oceania?).

I honestly dont have enough knowledge about the Maori culture to give a founded view on this possible relation or developement. Anyone?

Thanks for posting Vandoo!
