Lot 138:
Description
This lot comprises two hand-carved decorative weapons presented in a modern display frame. The first weapon is a long spear with a broad, leaf-shaped head and a straight shaft. The second is a hooked club, fashioned in the style of a traditional Hawaiian leiomano, featuring small shark teeth lashed to the outer edges of the hooked head with fine cord. Both items are crafted from a dense, dark-stained hardwood. Natural fibre cord is wrapped around the grips and at the junction points of the heads. The weapons are mounted against a neutral linen-textured backing within a mahogany-finished wooden shadow box frame behind glass. These items are contemporary decorative productions in the Pacific islander style.
208cm x 43cm.
