Very nice and appear to have some age. There is a big difference between these and the modern tourist clubs. When I get home I can show the difference by examples.

The difference between the right kind be that fighting or ceremonial clubs and tourist souvenir versions is plian to see here. The vine weave is a different colour that one might think looks old.

Two more add to the collection probably not the oldest, however the same dimensions as these two posted earlier.

Like many ornate weapons world wide in industrial and " primitive " cultures. Are used as gifts to cemment trade and diplomatic relations. In the Solomon's as in Africa and else where payment for services are made by the commissioning and gifting of prestige artefacts. Quite possibly successful people like we'll decorated weapons too.

Look at this. A must do. New items always prompt new research.
