Hi,
I believe this stone headed club to originate from Papua New Guinea and probably late 19thC early 20thC. The info on the net is rather reticent on these items. I did find one very similar example in Plymouth Museum collected by a missionary pre 1909, a selection of other items from PNG is well represented on the Plymouth Museum website. Many thanks in advance for your ideas and comments.
Regards,
Norman.
