Product Description
This weapon was a short club used in hand-to-hand combat. It was usually made of whalebone or wood. The warrior would thrust the weapon at the enemy. A notch on the side was used for catching an opponent's weapon. With a quick flick and twist of the wrist, the opponent could be disarmed. The word Wahaika can be roughly translated to "the mouth of the fish". Wooden Wahaikas often had intricate designs carved on them.
A great cultural gift or annual award.

This trophy can also be mounted onto another larger base, being Swamp Kauri, Rimu or similar, or larger painted wood base if required for an Annual Trophy or Award. A great presentation gift or souvenir for that special person or occasion which can be presented & supplied here or overseas.
