Maori Club maybe !!!

Bought this at my Carboot sale recently, reminded me of the Tongan War Paddle I bought some years ago, but I believe this one looks maybe Maori !!! . Pau She'll eyes I think !!. What's your opinion ?

Certainly looks like it was made in New Zealand, but looks late 20thC rather than Vintage or Antique. Best to ask a museum or a dealer in ethnographic artifacts

The Tongan paddle I had was Bigger, heavier, and more decorative with a Spear shaped end too. I believe you're right about this one being later Naomi, thank you for your input, appreciate you. Have a pleasant evening
