Question New Hebrides club

My back is agianst the wall money wise at present. However I have managed to ebay this club listed as New Hebrides. It went for far less than I expected even if I cannot really afford it, but sometimes you take a chance and you can be lucky. The thing is all the pictures although rather fancy lighting on a black backgroud are not that easy to read. The form does match an illustration in "Ethnology of Vanuatu, Felix Speiser" the illustrated example is 81cm long and said to be from " northern Malo" the ebay piece is described as 70cm long. Hopefully when it arrive and seen in day light I can get a better understanding and swage my doubts.

It is here 1.150kg. The simple and brutish appearance really appeals to me it is also very intimidating in its rude form, quite scary. I show it next to a Kanak club so you can get an idea of its massive nature.


Forgot to show this phallic finish to the handle.
