New Zealand
18th C.
Whalebone, 48,8 cm

Provenance:
Probably Sir Joseph Banks (1743-1820)*
Charles Greville, son of the Count of Warwick
K. John Hewett collection, London

Property from a Princely collection

*Joseph Banks was an English botanist and naturalist who participated in James Cook's first voyage, visiting Brazil, Tahiti, New Zealand, and Australia.

The Maori used the patu parāoa as a club. Made of whalebone, a common local resource, it features a flat elongated blade with a sharp striking edge. In the handle, a hole is made for the tau, or wrist cord. The butt of the handle on this patu parāoa is finely finished with carved grooves.

Smooth, aged patina.
