A Rare Club
Puari Delta, Papuan Gulf, Papua New Guinea, early 20th c.
Carved wood with lime
37.5” h x 3” w (95.25 x 7.62 cm)

A very rare object, possibly a dance club. The only similar examples I’ve seen are three clubs published in Michael Hamson’s Red Eye of the Sun: The Art of the Papuan Gulf (pp. 128–29, cat. 48).
