Aqauataorqauaata is a parrying shield or war club of the San Cristobal Island in the Solomon Islands.
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.[1][2] The head is separated in two by a central ridge and the handle is often finished by an anthropomorphic sculpture.[3] It is more common than the roromaraugi and was used for war.[4]
