Description: | This Maroi cleaver (patu paraoa) is made from a piece of whalebone. It has been in Northeast England since the 1790s, but the shiny surface shows that it may have been used in New Zealand for many years before then. It is a heavy weapon with sharp edges, used for splitting an enemy's skull. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East animals other cultures natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
