Description: | Small conical cup which belonged to Pomare IV, Queen of Tahiti (1813-77). The cup is made from a nut carved in a chequered pattern and may well be an item of European-made treen. It may also have been owned by missionary Joseph King (1839-1923) .Formerly in the collections of the London Missionary Society.
1990 Museum list: 16 Pomare cup in envelope
1975 list: Small conical cup belonged to Pomare 4, queen of Tahiti, who was deposed
in 1843, with home-made cardboard base for display. A very old piece of stamp paper
stuck on the cup carries the name KING. This presumably refers to Joseph King
(Sibree 592) Pacific 1863-1911) and seems to imply that it formerly belonged to him.
