Interesting wooden clubs antiques for your collection
If you have a keen interest in antiques from Oceania and Australasia, pick up a wooden club antique from this range to add to your collection. You'll find loads of styles of wooden clubs from various areas such as Fiji, New Zealand, Australia and others, so you're sure to find the perfect club antique for you.
Fijian club antiques
One of the most common wooden club antiques finds from Oceania and Australasia are from Fiji and the surrounding archipelago. There are many styles of ceremonial clubs and clubs created for warfare from this area, as combat and conflict were central to Fijian life.
Some of the Fijian war clubs you'll find in this range include the Gata, with an angled edge designed for cutting purposes in battle and the Vunikau, which is fashioned from the roots of saplings to create a gnarled appearance.
The Fijian Ula clubs are also a popular collector's item to be found in this range. A Fijian warrior often kept a few of these clubs in his belt in a battle to throw at enemies, and many have ornately carved heads that would make a great centrepiece to any collection of Fijian weapons.
After a Fijian war club had made a kill, they were often decorated with bone fragments, teeth or carvings in celebration, which make for a much more unusual collector's find.
Some wooden Fijian clubs, such as Kiakavo clubs, had ceremonial purposes and were used in various religious ceremonies or at celebrations. They are a popular collector's item, and are a perfect choice of wooden club antique for those interested in the religions of other cultures.
Aboriginal club antiques
You may also come across some Aboriginal antiques in this range, such as wooden Woomeras which are designed to launch spears at enemies in battle or while hunting. You may also find some antique aboriginal boomerang collectables, which were used in many areas of Aboriginal life, such as hunting prey, in battle and during various religious ceremonies.
