Goaribari Island gope board
We know from Newton that Kerewa gope are usually carved from old canoe wood. Making it at times difficult to establish the age of a piece, aside perhaps from its stylistic cues. In this example we see areas of wear and patination along both edges of the board itself, indicating age and use after it was carved into this gope. The pigments are muted but with enough strength to interest, the white pigment washed away, allowing the yellow/ gold of the wood through, complimenting the red. The colors in this gope really work well together. There are biconical suspension holes top and bottom. While Kerewa gope are typically restricted stylistically, please note the interesting marginal motif of interrupted links and an overall balance of line and proportion. It is proposed that this is a second quarter, 20th century gope. Its condition is completely ... morestable with erosion at the open grain spaces at the top and bottom. Consider lot 56 from Sotheby’s Paris, 30 Nov. 2010 at €36,750. There are a few instances of insect damage. 138cm from private US collection Indeed values are not determined by the artefact itself. But rather by who is selling it!
