Qauata

A qauata or qauaata is a parrying shield or war club of the San Cristobal Island in the Solomon Islands.

It was used to deflect the enemy’s arrows and spears.

It has a leaf-shaped head without an ergot, which distinguishes it from the roromaraugi.

[1][2] The head is separated in two by a central ridge and the handle is often finished by an anthropomorphic sculpture.
