Tongan

At Nicholas Wells Antiques, we have a fascinating collection of Tongan war clubs that are certain to captivate any collector or enthusiast of Oceanic tribal art. These war clubs are a testament to the Tongan people’s skill and craftsmanship, who were renowned for their ability to create weapons and tools from natural materials.

Each of our Tongan war clubs is unique, featuring intricate designs and patterns that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. Constructed from a range of materials, including wood, bone, and marine ivory, these war clubs were used by Tongan warriors in battle and also served as symbols of power and prestige.

One particularly striking example from our collection is an ironwood Tongan war club. This club boasts a carved handle and a large, heavy head that would have been devastating in battle. The ironwood has been expertly crafted with intricate designs and patterns, including a series of raised dots that would have provided additional grip during use.
