Description

Rare appui-nuque reposant sur une base rectangulaire et sculpté d'un pilier conique, surmonté du plateau incurvé se terminant par deux têtes animales stylisées.

Vanuatu.
21x36cm
Provenance : ancienne collection Clarke Staples, collectée au cours de l'expédition du bateau Brigantine Yankee à travers le globe dont le capitaine était Irving Johnson entre 1956 et 1958.
