Tiki Caliente 8 Blood Splattered Wahaika Warclub Mug
in 1 collection
This is a mug shaped like a Blood Spattered Wahaika Warclub resting on a bed of lava rock. The resting Tiki on the club has abalone eyes and the handle Tiki has a leather beaded handle around its neck. The mug was designed by Doug Horne and manufactured by Eekum Bookum (John and Janet Mulder). This is a limited edition version, similar to the version given to attendees without blood spatter. The Wahaika was a short weapon used for close quarter fighting only, with thrusts and jabs. It is believed the small ridge on the blade side was to trap the opponent's weapon thereby disarming them. These clubs were held at the end by a thong of dog's skin looped through the handle and securely around the hand.
