Waihaka club

Blunt, Pacific, Neolithic

A waihaka is one type of a special type of small, hardwood club used by Polynesian people in the Pacific Islands, Tahiti, Tonga, New Zealand etc., though similar weapons were also used in many other parts of the world. This is an effective short range weapon which can break skulls and bones causing devastating wounds and will not easily break in combat. What defines a Waihakia is that it is a short broad, disk-like club made of an exceptionally hard, heavy wood. Some were made of jade or other stone (treat such weapons as: 1/2/1, 1-8 damage Hardness 9 hit points 1). Waihaka were sometimes used to carry out Human sacrifice.
