  • 81 taiaha

    Maori spear or quarterstaff
    <TAIAHA.JPG">
    Often mistaken for a spear but it was never intended to be thrown. It was in reality a long club and was one of the main weapons of the Maori warrior. They were made from light, strong, dense-grained wood and ideally weighed no more than 1-2 lbs. The pointed end known as 'arero' or tongue was often carved and decorated. From there the shaft ran for some 5 to 6 ft, lessening in thickness and widening out to about 3 to 4 inches. The taiaha was weilded and carried with the blade uppermost.
