The Museum of Pacific and Oceanic Arts is proud to announce the arrival of a new collection of artifacts, featuring historical weapons from Fiji. This remarkable display offers a rare opportunity to explore the artistry, craftsmanship, and formidable power of traditional Fijian weaponry, used by warriors in the 19th century.

Among the newly acquired pieces, visitors will find the fearsome Iculanibokola, a club designed for battle and ritual, the Cula Cula war club, known for its intricate carvings, and the Sali or Cali neckbreaker, a weapon that exemplifies the strategic combat techniques of Fijian warriors. Additionally, the exhibition includes ceremonial clubs such as the Kiniki, as well as the Ula Tavatava, a throwing club used with deadly precision.

These artifacts are not just weapons—they are works of art that tell the story of Fiji’s warrior traditions, social hierarchy, and ceremonial practices. Each item in the collection showcases the ingenuity of Fijian craftsmanship, from the carefully carved designs to the use of natural materials such as wood, shell, and woven fibers.
