More modern tourist piece from the Solomon's? That's just a guess.

Fearn, is it the style of the carving, the motif of carving, the depth of carving, or the shape as a whole?

The shape, primarily. Otherwise, the decorations could be from Philippines. I was just thinking that perhaps some craftsman decided to put a different set of decorations to sell to tourists.
As I said, it's a guess. I don't know PI weapons well enough to know whether it could be a club from there. F |

I have an idea that I have seen things rather like this {plain not decorated} as Coconut splitting mauls from South India, Kerala, Tamil Nadu. I do not have any information to back this idea up and could be wrong. It would most certainly make an effective human hurting tool if you wanted. The decoration looks Indian. Perhaps our Indian members could help.
