Description: | Kava Bowl from River Rewa, Viti Levu, Fiji. / 379-76 / To the secretary, S. Kensington Museum, London
“...VA Bowl. ...? Sebeig...[illegible]
Bowl for Kava Fiji, ..... [illegible...] 19.10.76
Shallow circular kava bowl, with four short cylindrical legs and a distinctive lug carved into a semicircular form which is crossed by a cuboidal form. The former is pierced twice and the latter one to permit the attachment of a rope of a coconut fibre cordage. The cord has since become detached. The bowl has been split on one side before the collection and has an indigenous Fijian repair in evidence involving a piercing in wither side of the crack, the insertion of a small wooden fillet underneath the rip and a neat lashing of coconut fibre cordage through the two holes. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | wood plant fibre kava bowls (bowls (narcotics & intoxicants: drinking)) Health and Healing | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-46348 |
