The patu is a traditional Māori club or weapon that holds profound cultural importance in Māori society. The word "patu" in 'te reo Māori' (Māori language) means 'to strike, hit, beat, or subdue'. This reflects its original function as a close-combat weapon used by Māori warriors. The patu symbolises strength, authority, and prestige (mana), making it particularly meaningful when transformed into a trophy or award.Size Māori patu trophy:
