Item Details

Description

Fiji Islands
Wood, 93,5 cm

Provenance:
Collected by Pierre Michel Alphonse Laurent (1769-1841) naval ensign on "La Topaze" or by his son Michel Albert Laurent (1815-1888)
Jean-Paul Morin collection, Paris
Pierre Bergé & Associés, 4 November 2011, lot 240
Property from a Princely collection

So-called "pineapple club", this war club was designed to drive a neat hole through the enemy's skull, the weight of the heavy head concentrated in the bent point at the top. Its shape was achieved by tying a sapling during its growth at an angle that would give the club its distinctive shape.

Traditionally these clubs were carried by chiefs, and its fine decoration throughout the shaft with decorative geometric patterns attests to the importance of its owner.

The shape of the head is actually based on the shape of the Pandanus fruit since pineapples were not known in the Fiji Islands.
