Item Details
Description
Hawai'i, possibly 18th C.
Kou wood
20 x 40 cm Ø

Provenance:
Sotheby's, Paris, African and Oceanic Art, Various Owners, 17 July 2009, lot 131
Property from a Princely collection

Gorgeous poi bowl with numerous native pahonohono (repairs) of different types: pewa (butterfly keys), kepa (small wedges of hard wood hammered in obliquely across cracks and arranged to form a zigzag pattern along the crack), and rectangular inset on the bottom. More than just repairing a valued bowl, these repairs added to the general aesthetic of the bowl.
