Lot 108 Dα

Handclubs, "paoa", from Easter Island are far more rare than the long staffs, "ua", with which they share the same Janus head butts. One, formerly in the Hooper collection, is illustrated in Kjellgren, E., "Splended Isolation: Art of Easter Island", New York, 2001, p.74, no.45, and another was sold at Christie’s on 26 June 1995 as lot 26.
