    The wood is typical of tropical artifacts, and the toothed form is basically suggestive of some Samoan clubs, but the rounded knob (typically found in many cultures) stuck on the handle, isn't.

    It appears to be more of a "fantasy" item, produced for the souvenir/decorator market, than based on an actual traditional style, so determining a specific origin is unlikely.
