Thumbs up Big Samoan Povai Club

Went mad and got this very nice club. 1.850kg so hard to stop once moving, smash bones. 119cm long. Nice patina, beautifully carved but you need it in your hand to feel that. Made me do some digging and found picture of Samoan Civil war, pictures in the PDF link. Which I am sure we will all enjoy viewing.

Also a link to a NZ museum with info on square Povai clubs.
