Hello Christek,
agree with the others that this is a Vanuatu club, at the first glance they all in the same style but when you look close there are many different styles. This one was in my collection and now in the collection of a other member. Regards, Detlef |

It would be nice to see the mask. There is a masking culture in the New Hebrides they tend to be small and often modelled. Here are my New Hebridean clubs. I have a very interesting one still to arrive that I believe is not at all common.

Found... um mask??
Well here it is,
It’s not really a mask as I recalled, I am not even sure it complements the club, although I know it has to be quite old as it's story is similar to the clubs. It appears to be a carved piece designed for hanging on the wall. It is broken unfortunately.  A kind thank you to all who have commented and shared their wonderful pieces of art. Regards. |
