The Patu was a Maori hand club made primarily from greenstone or greystone.  When in battle, the Patu was generally used with a thrusting motion, attacking the upper body.  Alternately, the butt ( reke) would be used to deal a death blow to the head of a wounded warrior.

This Patu weapon is approximately 15 1/2" long, which is true to size for the old patu.  It is made from the native timber Matai, a hardwood.   The intricate scroll pattern, similar to that seen on artefacts, is repeated on both sides.

Sorry, a stand is no longer available.
