War Club but from Where?
I recently purchased this war club that was listed as being from the South Pacific; I thought maybe Papua New Guinea or there abouts.
When I received it, the chipped handle and the stitched leather made me wonder about its origins.It could be a movie prop, but it is too well made.The handle is one piece,with the stone head inserted through the handle, cemented in with some type of pitch,further secured with some type of organic material like birch, bamboo,etc. strips, that have evidence of insect damage through out the years.
Any opinion would be appreciated.
