IT JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW LITTLE WE CAN TELL FROM A PICTURE IT SURE LOOKED LIKE A GOOD PIECE OF WOOD. THE OTHER TWO FORMS OF PLASTIC MAORI CLUBS I HANDLED LOOKED GOOD EVEN IN HAND BUT THE WEIGHT AND CUTS CARVED LOOKED A LITTLE FUNNY. WHOEVER THE NEW ZEALAND COMPANY IS WHO MAKES THEM DOES A VERY GOOD JOB.THEY ARE THE BEST RESIN CLUBS ON THE MARKET.

IF ITS A GOOD REPLICA OF ONE OF THE VERY BEST OLD MAORI CLUBS AT THE RIGHT PRICE FOR WHAT IT IS I FIND THEM WORTH HAVING.
THE ONE YOU HAD WAS A DIFFERENT PATTERN THAN I HAVE SEEN AND LIKELY NOT A OLD DESIGN. THE DESIGN WAS RECOGNIZABLE AND APPROPRIATE FOR MAORI AS IT DEPICTED A FERN THE 3 UNFURLED TENDRILS GOING UP THE BLADE.
