CONGRATULATIONS !! A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE TRULY WORTHY OF A CHIEF OR HIGH PRIEST.

A 15 INCH WIDE BLADE WOW! TRULY A MONSTER EVEN FOR THIS TYPE OF CLUB. I HAVEN'T SEEN DOG FIGURES DEPICTED ON A CLUB BEFORE DO YOU THINK IT IS FROM TONGAN INFLUENCE IN FIJI?
THE WAY YOU WRITE ABOUT YOUR CLUBS SHOWS YOU TRULY APPRECIATE AND EVEN LOVE THEM. IT IS ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE GREAT CLUBS IN THE COLLECTION OF ONE WHO TRULY TREASURES THEM FOR WHAT THEY ARE AND THEIR HISTORY NOT JUST WHAT THEY ARE WORTH.

To acquire this must be the pinnacle of desire for the collector of Fijian art , an amazing piece holding so much unknown history, it radiates a presence of its own.
fantastic

That is truly amazing. Excellent score! Very few would not admire the workmanship. I'm sure, the carver had to walk away periodically, so as not to get dizzy, or go blind completely!

Thank you "Chief" I was very lucky to find and be able to afford to buy this Beautiful specimen. I have handled several Kinikini's and clubs over the years but this one is in a league of it's own I doubt I will ever find anything so rare again. K
