This club is a finely carved/finished/detailed
Traditional Samoan Throwing War Club called an OLOMOE (in the
Samoan language).This type of club was hurled by a warrior with great precision
in times of war. 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. 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
near the top, which is handmade 3-strand braided coconut fiber.
The club in the photo was 19" long.
Price: $90.00 plus shipping.
