Pouwhenua - Maori Pointed Fighting Staff

Item Details
Description
New Zealand
18th C.
Wood, 135 cm

Provenance:
Collected by Alexander Clarck around 1840
Private collection, New York

Property from a Princely collection

The pouwhenua belongs to the same class of weapons as the tewhatewha and taiaha, a long-handled fighting weapon designed for stabbing, parrying, and striking. In the hands of an expert, weapons like the pouwhenua were highly effective and could deliver death with a single blow delivered at lightning speed.

Beautiful patina of age.
