Tongan apa 'apai (club) of leaf-stalk type. It has a plain cylindrical handle and a four-sided, flat flared head, which is heavily carved with geometric patterns.

The pattern here is particularly reminiscent of wovan designs. The meaning of these rich Tongan club designs is still discussed, but likely relates to designs used in tattooing, bark cloths and matting, as all use pattern as part of protective surface marking and wrapping. The patterned surface both honours and controls an object at the same time as it serves both to shield and to advertise its 'mana' or power. Such clubs could be priestly objects as well as for warriors. This club is made of toa wood (casuarina equisetifolia or she-oak) and said to have been brought back by Captain Cook from his second voyage.
