Not every Patu of ours is large, and this small Patu is a prime example of that.  An absolutely beautiful Taonga that has such an awesome color contrast. The tidy lashing on the handle really brings it together. This Patu can come on a Mapere Base with up to 3 words engraved ( Sold Separately )

Dimensions: 255mm x 82mm
Mere or Patu were originally used by Māori in hand-to-hand combat. They were also utilized as an everyday tool for cutting and striking objects. These sacred ancent Māori Taonga are symbols of mana (authority), status, cultural identity, and important relationships.
In most cases, our Patu/Mere are purchased to be gifted as birthday gifts, leaving/welcoming gifts, celebrations, and corporate events.
