Curious Antiques

Description

A rare and unusual 19th century war club,c1880. The head of the club is presented as a clenched fist which is an unusual form, but one I have seen occasionally in Native American clubs, but more usually in clubs and sticks from the Pitcairn Islands in the South Pacific. Hand carved in hardwood the club is a good weight for its size at 0.6kg ,well balanced and capable of delivering a heavy blow. The colour of the wood is lovely following many years of handling and use. Overall condition is good ,there is a small loss to one knuckle (please see photographs) which looks to have happened many years ago perhaps during use in anger. There is a small hole drilled in the end presumably to allow some form of carrying handle/rope. Please refer to the detailed photographs and feel free to contact me if you would like to view the item or have any questions.
