DANCE NIFO OTI CLUB ON SALE
This 37" club is a finely carved/finished/detailed Traditional SAMOAN Toothed War Club called a NIFO OTI (in the Samoan language). Nowadays, this club is used in the Tausala Samoa Dance and the Taupou Samoa dance 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 and skillfully done hand-carved traditional designs on both sides and around the handle. The dark color comes from being placed in mangrove mud for a few days before carving the designs on it. There are 2 sinnet wraps on the handle part of the club used when twirling it during the dances. Sinnet is handmade 3-strand braided coconut fiber.
SALE Price: This 37" club was $90.00 (plus shipping) now on SALE FOR 20% off at $70.00.
