This tiamani shaped wooden club holds it's shape for 660mm then rounds out for the rest of the handle for 260mm, before a 30mm top in the shape of a cone with a flat end instead of a point. There is a 20mm x 20mm chip taken out of the top. It is splintered along the long outside edges. A section of 180mm from the bottom that has damage on one side possibly where it had been used. There are divots and a split in the club 25mm long, there are also chips missing from the opposite edge 30mm in length. Looking at the base / bottom you can see visible wood rings. It is reasonably smooth with white ink spots and white lines on one side, and a pink spot in the centre on the other.
