Iula drisia
Club with a round wooden head from Fiji. End of handle carved in zig-zag lines (tava tava). Scratched crudely on the handle 'MOAVE'. Said to have been brought back from Cook's 3rd voyage but this is unlikely. Iula drisia - a type of war club made for throwing at an enemy. Iula have short handles and heavy heads in various shapes.
