Oceanic Carved Wood Fertility Statue, C1880

19th century

Sold by Curious Antiques

Description

Lovely late 19th century carved wood fertility statue, c1880. This is a fine oceanic statue, most probably from the Cook Islands, depicting a traditional female figure, symbolising fertility. Beautifully carved from a single piece of wood and heavy at 0.7kg it has lovely primitive form and would display well in a traditional or modern setting. The wood has taken on great colour/patina. Overall condition is good, there are some historic movement cracks where the wood has expanded and contracted but all very minor and as you would expect from an antique carving. Please refer to the detailed photographs and feel free to contact me if you would like to view the item or have any questions.

Size: 25cm tall x 19cm wide x 7.5cm deep, weight 0.7kg.
