Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $200**

Oceania, Papua New Guinea, ca. 1930s. A hand-carved wooden drum (known as a kundu) of a traditional hourglass shape with an animal skin/hide membrane. The exterior walls are extensively decorated with countless, contiguous rectangular panels - each one finely incised with four symmetrically arranged nested triangles. A relief band demarcates the upper end of the conical integral base, and five seed-like appliques adorn the membrane. Size: 6.4" W x 24.6" H (16.3 cm x 62.5 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.

Condition

Age crack running from base to the middle of the drum. Wood has developed a nice age patina and the hide/skin membrane has darkened with age. Overall a nice example.
