This club is a finely carved/finished/detailed
Traditional Samoan Toothed War Club called a NIFO OTI (in the Samoan
language) or Teeth of Death. The Nifo Oti club was unique to Samoa in Olden
Times. Nowadays, this club is used in the Tausala Samoa and Taupou Samoa dances
for the official entertainment to show the pride in the Samoan culture. It
was made from the local ironwood tree (Ifilele) and is therefore very heavy
in weight. It has very fine & skillfully done handcarved authentic 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. There is a sennet wrap
on the handle, which is handmade 3-strand braided coconut fiber.
