Sali (weapon)
A Sali or Cali or Tebetebe[1] is a war club from Fiji.
Uses in Fiji
[edit]Usually cut from a hardwood type iron wood it is intended for war. It differs from the Gata by the width of its striking head.[2] It is named Sali because of its resemblance to the clawed flower of the plant of the same name (Sali) of the genus Musa of the banana family.[3]
