Club
Solomon Islands tapering paddle club, dovetail pommel.
Nggela Islands (formerly Florida Islands) tapering paddle clubs show close similarities to the geographically separate pakipaki clubs of Tonga. They are carved with a thin logitudinal ridge down the upper part of the blade but are otherwise plain. The clubs were traded widely and some have been collected elsewhere.
