As a general rule the rangatira (chief) carries the mere, or short club. The mere was carried thrust into the girdle of the piupiu or in a special war belt. The common characteristic of the mere is a flat, broad blade with a rounded end made sharp enough to split the skull of a man or cause deadly injury to the neck or ribs.
