• 18TH C. TAHITIAN PRE-CONTACT BASALT
  18TH C. TAHITIAN PRE-CONTACT BASALT POI POUNDERFrench Polynesia, Tahiti, Moorea Island, Pre-Contact Period, ca. 18th century CE. A fabulous and hefty pounder, hand-carved from red-gray basalt, meant to pulverize the roots of the taro plant into poi. The tool has a thick neck, a cuboid handle, and a hemispherical pounding face. The entire tool is incredibly smooth from repeated use, though some light roughness can be felt around the rim just above the pounding head. Finely crafted and sturdy in composition, this is an exquisite example from French Polynesia! Size: 4.75" W x 7.5" H (12.1 cm x 19 cm) Poi pounders, alongside adzes, were the most important stone tools in Polynesia (Europeans introduced steel weapons).

The pounded results were blended with water into a highly nutritious paste. Traditional calabash bowls were used as containers to hold poi mixtures, and traveling royalty were accompanied by their own poi maker, with his or her own poi-making implements like this one.

Note: This highly ornate example by Petersen is an extreme departure from the organic, timeless designs he is best known for, which strongly suggests that this is most likely a commissioned work, possibly for a service purchased by a client from Birks in Montreal during the early 1930's, where Petersen had worked as a silversmith after he first arrived in Canada from Denmark.
