Hello Francois,

It does look promising. However, we do need larger pics with decent resolution for any reasonable comments!

BTW, these clubs got carved early for bartering with visitors. Thus, there seems to be a fairly broad grey area between genuine pieces (especially very few from the pre-contact era) and later tourist stuff of lower quality...

Regards,
Kai

Does look promising but a gamble on those pictures. Really looking forward to better pics and fingers crossed.

Also please include size measurements. Items made for those who travel are frequently made small enough to fit in a suitcase, while the actual weapon form was larger...
