Smile new Fijian addition.

I bought this Fijian club as the price was very reasonable to my mind. Not the best of patina but is old, the latter part of the 19th century. When shown next to an early piece with a lug {not Uncommon} the depth of patina is not there. However when seen in a grouping it is non the less quite acceptable. At 1.330 kg a bone cruncher. I could not find a perfect match in any of my books just many different versions with similar features. Quality and styles will vary from the many Islands that make up Fiji, some will be more wealthy than others. That would apply to a Chiefs armoury and to the common mans production.
