Check the listing for details. VINTAGE MAORI TIKI HANDCARVED WOODEN PATU WAR CLUB NEW ZEALAND TRIBAL ART. Made in New Zealand. Listed at 260.80 USD. An exceptional vintage Māori Patu, hand carved from a single solid piece of native timber. Unusually presented in a raw, unvarnished state, this example beautifully showcases the natural grain and honest character of the wood. Both faces are richly decorated with intricate traditional Rauponga carving, featuring finely cut Pākati notches and rhythmic ridges that follow the sleek contours of the form. A curved Tiki figure adorns the inner edge, with the butt carved as a Tiki head, each detailed with shimmering pāua shell inlaid eyes — a powerful and visually striking piece of Māori craftsmanship.
