This club is a Rare and VERY finely carved/finished/detailed TRADITIONAL SAMOAN DANCE Club called a NIFO OTI (in the Samoan language) or Teeth of Death. Nowadays, this club is used in the Tausala Samoa and Taupou Samoa dances for the official entertainment to consolidate the pride in the Samoan culture. It was made from the local ironwood tree (IFILELE tree) and is therefore heavy in weight. It has VERY FINE & skillfully done hand-carved AUTHENTICAL TRADITIONAL designs on both sides. The dark color comes from being placed in mangrove mud for a few days before carving the designs on it. The handle has a sennet wrap, which is handmade 3-strand braided coconut fiber.
For Smaller Sizes check the 24" to 30" Page Here and Under 23" Page Here.
Price: This 36" club is $100.00 plus shipping. OUT OF STOCK, PLEASE CHECK BACK LATER..
