Leiomano

The leiomano is a shark-toothed club used by various Polynesian cultures, primarily by the Native Hawaiians.

The tip of the handle may also utilize a marlin bill as a dagger.

The weapon functions as a bladed club, similar to the obsidian-studded macuahuitl of the pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures.

A weapon of similar form was discovered in pieces at Cahokia, Illinois, in 1948 by Gregory Perino.

Greatly damaged by a plow, the weapon was composed of eight chert imitation shark teeth, and tipped with five actual shark teeth.
