  • The Tabua is clearly a sperm whale tooth..may be the one in the pacific collection is not,,Our ancestors in Fiji have been using Sperm whales tooth long before the European even started whaling..Fijians get their tabua from stranded whales in the pacific islands,either fiji or Tonga .Battering tabua with fijian arts ,sandalwood and big canoes ,,,,trading lasted till the 19 centuries,,,Every year whales are still found standed in fiji and other pacific islands...
