COMBAT MASS called Gata
Fiji Islands, Melanesia
19th century
Hardwood with glossy patina
H. 101; L 15.5 cm

A cylindrical handle with a distinctive head that evokes the wide-open jaw of a Pacific boa - indeed, the word gata means "snake" in Fijian.
The distal part is finely incised with geometric motifs in relief in a cartouche.

On a Jacques Lebras bronze base
