Solomon Islands Shell Money :: Superb Kanak Mastercarvers Adze New Caledonia
:: Description
A superb example of a New Caledonian Kanak Carvers Adze. The patina and deep lustre evident, has been achieved from extensive use and immense age. The blade of speckled stone is a perfect fit and sits tightly within the socket.
With original sinnet (coconut) and barkcloth base this is an exceedingly rare and stunning example. A highly desirable item.
