Description
A Maori, New Zealand, attractive and apparently handled and patinated but probably decorative object, an enigma that appears to have been skillfully carved by a Maori carver, New Zealand, with fine Janus faces that probably once had inlaid shell eyes, but terminates in what on other Pacific islands, especially Fiji, is known as 'a cannibal fork', despite no evidence of cannibalism among the Maoris, 9.5"h Provenance: Richard I.M. Kelton Collection, Marina del Rey, California
