Kanak war club

Usually cut from a hardwood type of iron wood, gaiac or kohu[1] they were used for war.

Like all the Pacific clubs, their forms were of a very wide variety and specific to each country and each purpose.

[4] These weapons were originally decorated with plants, human hair, or cloths, and were wielded with one or two hands.

[5] Oceanian art specialist Roger Boulay makes a distinction between a mace, that is "an object whose percussion point is in the axis of the handle" and a club, that is "an object whose percussion point is shifted in relation to this axis".
