Maori New Zealand Hand Carved Wood Hand Club Patu

About the Item

Great piece made by the Maori People of New Zealand. Hand carved and decorated. A patu is a club or pounder and was originally designed and carved from wood by the Maori people as a weapon to strike, hit, beat, or subdue their opponents. This piece was likely made for more decorative or ceremonial purposes. Would be a great addition to any tribal art collection or eye-catching stand-alone accent piece. Dimensions: 13” high, 5” wide, 1.5” deep.

  • Hand Carved Wood Painted and Pigmented Primitive Tribal Mask

    An interesting piece. Quite unique. We are at a loss to what region this might be from. The facial features are very pronounced and the mask has been nicely colored with various pigments. The mask has some age to it and a nice patina. We are listing as early to mid-20th century but it could very well be older. From a collection of tribal artifacts...
