Massim "sword club"

[VANDOO]

HERE ARE A FEW MORE MASSIM CLUBS FOR REFERENCE. THERE ARE VARIATIONS IN THESE CLUBS WHICH MIGHT INDICATE WHICH GROUP, ISLAND OR TIME PERIOD THEY COME FROM. UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT HAVE THE REFERENCES OR KNOWLEDGE TO MAKE THESE DISTINCTIONS. PERHAPS SOMEONE WHO SPECIALIZES IN THESE CLUBS WILL PASS BY IN FUTURE AND CLEAR THINGS UP FOR US.
NOTE THAT A COUPLE OF THE CLUBS HAVE A SIMPLER CARVED DESIGN MUCH LIKE THOSE SEEN IN FIJI OR SAMOA.
