Description: | Scoring of varied depth on surface of hook, probably from use. Faded curved marks imply possible decorative carving. Samoa Polynesia CULT unknown pre-1860 Samoa Polynesia This lure would have been used with a rod to trawl for bonito fish from a fast moving canoe. The pearl shell used for the shaft is not native to Samoa and so would have been obtained through trade with other islanders.
The hook has been included in the Robertson catalogue as 'William Hunter from Captain Cook' on unknown evidence. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | FISHING : JEN : PCOOK : CPAULIN : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
