This heavier Fijian Sali war club is carved with traditional star and line motif and was designed for close combat, with a dense hardwood body that gave each strike considerable force.

Materials and Craftsmanship: Traditionally carved from resilient native hardwoods, the Sali club was shaped to withstand repeated impact while remaining controllable in the hand.
