Description:
Fine Patu Onewa - stone short hand club, long formed Patu Onewa in classic style emphasising the extended form and grace of the patu, the highly finished face is well balanced and terminates with a finely carved seven ridged lineage base in ovoid form. Incision for aperture incomplete. Blade broken and repaired to a high standard. It is thought that the master craftsman attempting to finish this piece snapped the blade then discarded the project as the object was found in two parts, approximately 20 metres apart.
