Guyana club

It is here now. Some day light pictures. There is a little damage to the pointed tip. With no idea as to when it was collected age is purely speculative but you can compare it to museum database like AMNH and NMAI. It is made of palm wood with a striking edge more like a wooden axe rather than a bludgeon club. Nicely balanced close range weapon. I would not like to be hit in the face or head with it.

Great club, and a great site; thanks a lot, now there is another item on my wish list, lol. I think that you are taking over the legacy of the late great VANDOO.

Interesting transitional piece between the spatulate versions and this more dagger form.

NMAI number 18/4936 Guyana. Collection history unknown purchased England 1933.
