20TH C. PAPUA NEW GUINEA WOOD PADDLE20TH C. PAPUA NEW GUINEA WOOD PADDLE W/ CROCODILEThis is an oversized item that may require special shipping. Please inquire for a quote before bidding.
Oceania, Papua New Guinea, Upper Sepik River region, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. This is a gorgeous hand-carved wooden paddle with a fantastic carving on the midrib of the blade and the handle. The grip finial is shaped as an intricate and stylized zoomorphic head - the rounded snout and triangular teeth suggest a crocodile, and the prominent midrib on the petaloid blade is incised with wavy geometric motifs. The rugged terrain of Papua New Guinea means that the easiest form of travel for its native indigenous inhabitants is via dugout canoe, especially in the region around the long inland Sepik River. Both paddles and canoes were highly decorated with symbols of clans and emblems for safety, speed, and success - a crocodile is a fitting creature that embodies power in the water. This is a lovely example with great preservation to both finial and blade, with a nice patina throughout. Size: 6" W x 56" H (15.2 cm x 142.2 cm); 58" H (147.3 cm) on included custom stand.

19TH C. MAORI WOOD HOE KOWHAIWHAI MOTIFS,19TH C. MAORI WOOD HOE KOWHAIWHAI MOTIFS, ABSTRACT TIKI...**First Time At Auction**
Oceania, New Zealand, Maori culture, likely Te Arawa people, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A superb wooden paddle known a "hoe" that was intended for dance or ceremony, rather than for propelling a boat. The blade has swirled spirals and the other side has scrolling motifs, known as kowhaiwhai - chevron and stepped motifs continue on the handle - leaving areas bare for gripping. Just above the blade is an abstract tiki face inlaid with nacre shell eyes. Maori wood carving is an incredible art form, its practitioners rightly recognized as masters. Their woodcarving tradition lasted in many areas into the later nineteenth century despite colonization and missionaries. Carving schools in several areas of the country kept the Maori tradition alive. Carvers used local trees, and a prayer known as a karakia would be said prior to cutting them down, thus showing respect for the forest. Size: 5" W x 59.75" H (12.7 cm x 151.8 cm)
The kowhaiwhai patterning, although geometric, are derived from the natural world - inspired by plants and animals. The intricacy of these carvings suggests a ceremonial or dance purpose, although by the late 19th century, paddles were produced for commerce. The Maori, and in particular the Te Arawa people, explored and settled the coast of New Zealand by boat, and canoes played a large role in their culture and mythology. In fact, the Te Arawa name comes from the great ancestral canoe that carried them to the islands, and unsurprisingly paddles / spade shaped tools were incorporated into ritual and daily life on land as well as the water.
