The macana or block war club of the Guianas is a weapon of unique appearance, with sharp edges and corners, and a ‘waisted’ or ‘thinned’ area serving as a handle about one-third between two squared ends. This design is no accident as each edge and corner provides a potential impact point for the weapon.
