Sepik region club.

I have recently recieved this lovely paddle club. It is from the Sepik river region. I would not want to state with certainty which people. I show it next to a Solomon Island club which I for one am more aquainted with. It is just over 53 inches long and although it does not look it, it is 9g heavier than the Solomon Island club. Carved from palmwood. One might at first think it somewhat rough in finish when seen next to a more polish wood club. However I am very interested in simple bold form. I admire the whole decorative form. Not a carved club or forged sword which then has added decoration. Compared with most stuff we see I like the other worldly look about it.
