Description: | This wooden club was probably used in dances rather than as a weapon. It is typically Fijian in style and was definitely in Northeast England before 1800. This poses a problem since no Westerner visited Fiji in the 18th Century). It was probably acquired in Tonga by one of Captain Cook's crew; some of the crew mention in their diaries that they met 'Feejee people' there. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East other cultures | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
