MANY NOMADIC TRIBES CARRIED FEW BELONGINGS SO WHERE POSSIBLE ONE ITEM COULD SERVE MANY PURPOSES. SO THIS COULD BE USED AS A DIGGING STICK, CLUB, CEREMONIAL OBJECT OR ANY OTHER NEEDED PURPOSE.
THE FIJI BOWAI MAKES A GOOD WAR CLUB AND IF THIS ABORIGINAL CLUB IS HEAVIER AND ALMOST AS LONG IT WOULD CERTAINLY SERVE AS A GOOD HEAD KNOCKER. IF A DIGGING STICK IT SHOWS NO WEAR FROM USE AT EITHER END SO PERHAPS WAS ONLY A CEREMONIAL OBJECT. TRUTH IS WE CAN NEVER BE SURE BUT I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE CONKED WITH IT.
