Description: | Old label reads N. Also marked E565. CULT unknown Tonga Polynesia The blade of this club is leaf-shaped, tapering towards a flat point with a ridge along its centre. The shaft is straight and almost square with two sets of ribs around the point where the shaft meets the blade, one of three ribs the other of four. The surface appears to have been coated with a dark varnish, as surface scratches show a lighter colour underneath: this dark varnish is typical of objects in the Old Hunterian collection.
Adrienne L. Kaeppler has identified the club as collected on the third voyage of Captain James Cook.
The old label which reads 'N' is used to identify the club in Laskey's 1813 account of the collection, suggesting that this club was in fact part of the Old Hunterian Collection. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | JEN : CLUB : CLUB, PADDLE-SHAPED : DCOOK : : : : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
