Description: A rare early Fijian Wawa Votovotoa  club, the name of which directly translates as ‘prickly guts’. Carved from a dense wood this is a formidable bludgeoning weapon with the long head of the club formed by a series of nodules carved to points. At the lower portion of the handle are two sections of coir sennit binding.  A near identical example is illustrated in James Hooper’s Collection.


Provenance: Formally part of the Smith family collection of the Maori Buried Village Museum, Rotorua, New Zealand.


Dimensions: 109cm long.
