19th C. Micronesian Bamboo Wood & Sennit Fishing Trap

Item Details

Description

Oceania, Micronesia, ca. late 19th to mid-20th century CE. A hand-crafted fishing trap painstakingly constructed from narrow slats of bamboo and coconut fiber cords. Each bamboo slat is lashed and knotted to a frame with cords made from sennit fiber (coconut) to create a rectangular box that slants upward. The trap functions just like a lobster pot / trap: at the taller end is a circular opening with a cylindrical funnel made from bamboo that leads into a woven sennit net that opens into the rest of the box. A square is cut out from the top and back end, one perhaps to access the trapped fish. The trap would be baited with fish scraps and submerged in the water to entice eels or other fish inside. Size: 11" L x 7" W x 4.25" H (27.9 cm x 17.8 cm x 10.8 cm)

Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-Hurst Gallery, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
