Description
**First Time At Auction**
South Pacific, Hawaiian Islands, ca. late 20th to early 21st century CE. A beautiful bowl of a petite size, hand-carved from elegantly grained Koa wood and featuring a flat bottom, a rounded base, and a thin rim overhanging its deep basin. The smooth exterior walls have been meticulously polished to imbue as much depth to the graining as possible and to bring out the fine tones of coffee, caramel, and espresso. A very charming example! Size: 2.7" W x 2.5" H (6.9 cm x 6.4 cm)
Provenance: private Newport Beach, California, USA collection
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to recent increases of shipments being seized by Australian customs (even for items with pre-UNESCO provenance), we will no longer ship most Antiquities and ancient Chinese art to Australia. For categories of items that are acceptable to ship to Australia, please contact us directly or work with your local customs brokerage firm.
