Tiki is a word used by Māori for human images carved into wood, bone, stone, or other material.

Taiaha

The taiaha is another weapon used by the pre-European Māori , and it is the equivalent of the quarter staff. This weapon was a “weapon of authority,“ which was used by chiefs in both attacks and defence. This carving is made with medium - density fibre wood.
