Rare opportunity considering its age and smaller size, as this would have been worn in the waistband of its warrior with a few others for close range throwing/striking. Have been personally collecting Hawaiian/Polynesian and Pacific Islands antiquities for about 25 years, as living on a Pacific Island (Oahu) affords us a rare opportunity to acquire such objects. This is the oldest piece of weaponry ive ever handled- it rivals any piece in our beloved Bishop Museum here in Honolulu. Having studied ancient wood artifacts locally at our museums for many years, id say this club is possibly an 18th century example. Early 19th c at the latest.
Club measures 14-1/4 (36.195cm). Was found with the green stone stand -and it is included. A respectable offer would be considered on this piece.
