Wuvulu Sword

9. A superb sword club with possibly unique decoration. There is another in the British Museum on which the same technique to decorate the surface has been used but theirs has mainly stripes apart from one figurative element being a small fish, inventory number Oc1944,02.1891. The example seen here has the unusual addition of a carved phallus to the end of the grip. It is profusely embellished to both sides.

154cm long.
