Description from the seller

A fine paddle shape Sapakana war club , Guyana.
Paddle-shape clubs had a wide geographical distribution ranging ―practically from Cayenne to the Orinoco.
Members of the Arekuna, Wapishana, Makusi, Arawak, Warrau, Oyana, Koróa, and Umáua used these clubs.

Paddle-shape clubs also have a non-martial role. According to Roth (1924), several groups, including the Makusi, Oyana, and Wapishana, used modified Paddle-shape clubs in dances.
