This weapon is a short club used as a striking weapon. The English translation of patu is to strike or hit. The general strategy of using this weapon was to hit the opponents upper body thus disabling them and then finishing them off with a strike to the head.
A Patu gives the wearer strength and courage to do, get through face and achieve anything in life. It signifies high status and authority.
