This war club is from the Pacific island nation of Fiji. It was purchased in Suva, Fiji in 1983.
The club is carved of a single piece of solid hard wood. There are engravings in the head and the handle. There is also a metal hook at the end of the handle.
It is approximately 36 years old and in excellent condition. Overall, it is 31.5 x 6 x 1.5 inches.
Fiji has more styles of native weapons than anywhere else in the Pacific. This is a testament ...to the fact that Fiji was beset by a long history of warfare and rampant ceremonial cannibalism. There are approximately thirty types of Fijian war clubs.
This is a two handed club known as a Kiakavo club. Kiakavo were typically for ceremonial use and were rarely used for fighting due to their lack of a cutting edge.
