AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A very powerful Gata Kiakovo from the Fiji Islands with a nice patina and traces of usage. This club has a lot of "mana" due to its proportions and weight, must have belonged to a very strong person. The diameter has the size of a Coca-Cola can 6cm diameter, with a length of 106 cm and 25 cm wide. I have added some pictures of Fijian warriors with their Kiakovo clubs, these pictures are not part of this auction.
