Well, you fooled me! I thought there was going to be a little koru motif in there with a paua disc in the centre, but I see the power of the tiki has prevailed! This club type is usually called a Wahaika and is my favourite style of Maori club - Waha = mouth, Ika = fish - "Mouth of the Fish". They vary quite a bit but the concave curve with a tiki on one side and the kotiate-style notch on the other are consistent features. You gonna tikify the butt too? |
