Lot 3
Fine early Throwing Club I Ula Tavatava Fiji islands. Carved hardwood. Carved and engraved hardwood. Throwing clubs, or i ula, were invariably made of a single piece of wood, usually an uprooted shrub. The present lot is an i ula tavatava, its name referring to the form of its elegant fluted head (Clunie, Fijian Weapons and Warfare, Suva, 1977, p. 60), rather than to the characteristic zig-zag grip carving, which is also known as tavatava.
