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.
