While the term mere was, and is, used in some regions to refer exclusively to clubs made from pounamu, [1] in other regions, mere was more broadly used to refer to patu of a similar shape and design made from hardwood (meremere, mere rakau), whalebone (patu paraoa), or stone (patu ōnewa) – in these areas, a mere made from greenstone was known as a mere pounamu or patu pounamu.
Maori decorated the patu by carving into the wood, bone or stone. Types of patu include: patu pounamu or mere: made from pounamu (greenstone). patu onewa: made of stone. These resemble the mere in outline but thicker, because the stone used was more easily broken than the resilient pounamu. patu paraoa: made of whale bone [2]
