The bold "triangles" remind me of patterns iv'e seen on objects from the Solomon island's and it seems unlikely to be a paddle due to it's "bulky"/"heavy" proportion's.......Although the overall shape seems to suggest it Samoan I would have expected the designs to have been carved or punched into the club, but they have been carved Out of the club, not Into it. I am sure I had something from the Solomon Islands with this design years ago. K
