Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Oceania, Fiji Islands, ca. first half of the 20th century CE. A beautiful carved wooden cane with a knob-form handle, a slender body, and a midsection decorated with a pair of raised, stylized anthropomorphic figures. A set of spiraling grooves course down the tubular handle, and the lower body is decorated with several sections of segmented grooves. Both highly-stylized figures wear neatly-arranged garments and boast heart-shaped faces, and the eyes are inlaid with small shell fragments; one eye fragment of each figure is missing. Covered in lustrous coffee-hued patina, this is a fabulous example of Fijian artistry! Size: 2.125" W x 31.3" H (5.4 cm x 79.5 cm).

Provenance: private Southern California, USA collection, acquired in the 1970s to mid-1980s
