  early 20th Century; one on a custom stand.The Angu people, also called Kukukuku, are a small and previously violent tribe , they are speaking a number of related languages and living mainly in the high, mountainous region of south-western Morobe Province. Even though they are a short people, often less than 5 foot, they were once feared for their violent raids on more peaceful villages living in lower valleys. These are two of their main type of clubs, the sickle shapes to attack people hiding behind their war shields and the round headed type used to hit people on the head. Both of these clubs have remnants of fine ochre painting from when the clubs were used for dance ceremonies *see attached field photo of the Angu people dancing at Goroka in 1986.
