This medium size Maori Patu Club measures approximately 32cm (12 1/2") in length.

The Patu is a traditional Maori weapon used as a thrusting weapon to strike the opponent below the ribs, on the temple, or across the jaw.

Traditionally the patu was made from wood, whalebone, or stone. If made from greenstone (pounamu) the patu was usually called a mere. Patu were decorated by carving into the wood, bone or stone.

This medium sized patu has been beautifully carved in Rotorua, New Zealand.
