VANDOO · 9th September 2013, 06:54 PM

THREE PICTURES OF A HAND CLUB SAID TO BE FROM THE COOK ISLANDS IT WAS CALLED POO RAPA AND IS 14.5 INCHES LONG AND 5 INCHES WIDE, ESTIMATED COLLECTION DATE 1910 TO 1940. LIKELY A CEREMONIAL ITEM RATHER THAN A WAR CLUB UNLESS USED SOMEWHAT LIKE A WAR FAN MOSTLY FOR DEFELCTING AND BLOCKING. I HAVE NO REFRENCE EXCEPT WHAT WAS PROVIDED BY THE SELLER.
ONE PICTURE OF A SOUVINEER CLUB SUCH AS YOU WOULD FIND IN THE COOK ISLANDS TODAY.
