Tongan Cultural Artifacts

At Nicholas Wells Antiques, we have a stunning collection of Tongan war clubs that are sure to impress any collector or enthusiast of Oceanic tribal art. These war clubs are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the Tongan people, who were known for their expertise in creating weapons and tools from natural materials.

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

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

Another impressive example from our collection is a Tongan war club made from wood. This club features a long, slender handle and a large, heavy head that would have been capable of delivering a powerful blow. The wood has been expertly carved with intricate designs and patterns, including a series of raised ridges that would have provided additional grip during use.
