Condition report: Patina of age and surface iron oxidation The Mapuche have historically inhabited south-central Chile and neighbouring regions
of Argentina. Their material culture includes objects made of stone, wood,
textile and metal, some of which are associated with power, prestige, war,
ritual or spiritual mediation. The clava, sometimes called a toki-kura, belongs to
this category of objects with strong symbolic significance and refers to a stone object that is simultaneously a potential weapon, an insignia and a sceptre.
