Item Details

Description

To this day, hanging hooks are the basic means of keeping important items in homes and ceremonial men's houses. Most hooks are decorated with representations of ancestral spirits and totemic animals associated with the owner's clan, in this case a crocodile. The human head probably represents a primordial ancestor. - Weight: 1.98 kg - Shipping unavailable - Region: Oceanie - Sizes: H 790MM X L 300MM - At first glance: normal wear / patina of use
