Uses
It was used to deflect the enemy’s arrows and spears. It has a leaf-shaped head without an ergot, which distinguishes it from the roromaraugi. The head is separated in two by a central ridge and the handle is often finished by an anthropomorphic sculpture. It is more common than the roromaraugi and was used for war.
