The small Samoan club, looks exactly like the one in Stone's Glossary, however what is curious is it's small size ; only 14.5 ". Could it have been made for a young boy ?

THIS FORM OF CLUB DOES SEEM TO BE SMALLER THAN MANY OF THE OTHER FORMS BUT THE ONES I HAVE SEEN HAVE USUALLY BEEN 25 TO 38 INCHES LONG. YOUR EXAMPLE IS MUCH SMALLER THAN I HAVE SEEN BEFORE. IT DOES APPEAR TO HAVE GOOD AGE AND TO BE MADE OF A HEAVY WOOD SO ITS POSSIBLE IT COULD BE USED FOR FIGHTING CLOSE OR PERHAPS FOR THROWING? I JUST DON'T HAVE THE REFRENCES TO SAY. I DOUBT IT IS FOR A CHILD AS THE CARVING IS TOO WELL DONE FOR SOMETHING FOR TEMPORARY OR TRAINING USE. ITS A BIT OLD FOR MAKEING IT SMALL SO IT WOULD FIT INTO A TOURISTS SUITCASE. I THINK ITS COOL ANYWAY
