The greenstone patu, or mere would have been a pretty prestigious weapon, the greenstone (pounamu) being fairly rare and highly valued. Patu were also made from stone, wood, bone, even iron, apparently. There were other patu designs that gave the weapons slightly diffent characteristics.<br />These weapons are often thought of as clubs - concussive weapons. They could be so used, I guess, but the sharpened top edge made the weapon cognate to a short sword. As Maori weren't armoured beyond whatever cloaks they wore, I imagine such things would leave very nasty wounds. The axe-like thing being waved about was called a tewha tewha. One end was sharpened to a point, the other sharpened like an axe. I have always been impressed by its shape, not far different from a musket with a bayonet. I imagine it would have been used very much like a musket as a close-quarter weapon: like a quarterstaff, spear and/or axe. <br /><br /><br />Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5162584379598890821.post-7777978424326405432016-09-22T08:51:32.361+10:002016-09-22T08:51:32.361+10:00Thank you sir.Thank you sir.Jacksarge Paintinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859137774361915594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5162584379598890821.post-37056072994254420942016-09-22T07:00:24.947+10:002016-09-22T07:00:24.947+10:00Very nice miniatures and great paint work :)Very nice miniatures and great paint work :)Imarthilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891764250368866632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5162584379598890821.post-1016115601543023042016-09-21T22:21:42.685+10:002016-09-21T22:21:42.685+10:00Hehe, cheeky bloke!
