Rare and Thin Taiaha Combat Staff from the Maori of New Zealand, 19th century

This item presents a magnificent patina of wear and antiquity.
Finely carved with a Tiki on each side of the head, have a look at the pictures. 

The Taiaha were used as combat weapons and as objects of prestige of the high ranked Maori chiefs. 

 Magnificent object, not to be missed by a self-respecting collector. 

It will be packaged and shipped with care via registered and insured express parcel (Colissimo).
