Description: | CULT unknown unknown Solomon Islands, Melanesia This canoe is likely to be an example of a funeral canoe from the Solomon Islands. A small figurine in the form of a human head (Musumusu) is tied to the prow. It was intended to protect the canoe from malevolent sea spirits and was displayed on the larger war canoes on the return journey from a successful raid. Excellent example (per Adrienne Kaeppler May 2010) | 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: | CEREMONIAL : BOAT : | 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 |
