human history

This consists of a rounded head and long slender adjoining handle. The head is shaped like a rounded triangle with a pronounced rim at its base before tapering off into the cylindrical handle. There is a faded sticker on the side of the handle. Surface wear is apparent on the head and handle of the club. The lower grip end of the handle is stepped with a pronounced butt with a notch at one edge. A hole is drilled through the lower end of the handle, likely for suspension. It is reddish brown in colour and has a patina.
