Fiji 10 Cents {1969-1985} 1H80

Elizabeth II 2nd portrait

FEATURING
front: throwing club - ula tava tava

The Fijian throwing club or ula has a large, fluted, petal-like head, with numerous nodes around a central node. One of the nodes has a large root knot adding to its sculptural qualities.

Such clubs were carved from the buttress roots of ironwood saplings. They were worn by warriors in their waistbands and then thrown, with great precision, at
the skulls of their assailants. They were a well-known weapon to early European sailors who reached Fiji - many had ulas hurled at them, and the ulas were
known for their speed and accuracy.
