TROBRIAND ISLAND WikiTravel Information: The Trobriand Islands(also known as the Kiriwina Islands) are a group of raised coral atolls in the north of Milne Bay Province in Papua New Guinea. Ever since the anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski wrote about the courtship and marriage ritual of Trobriand Islanders in the 1920s. In books such as“The Sexual Life of Savages in North-Western Melanesia” these islands have been visited by men hoping to be dragged into the bushes by topless, grass-skirted girls, particularly during the yam harvest when there is said to be a tradition that couples are permitted to have a fling with others. Although not easy to get to, the“Islands of Love” attract a steady stream of visitors for other reasons too. The Trobriands, which is part of the Kula Ring, have a matrilineal culture that revolves around cultivation of the yam; a unique version of the game of cricket, originally introduced by Methodist m

Rare Trobriand Island Figurative Betel Nut Bowl Early 20th C Provenance Oceanic
This superb early 20th Century Betel Nut Bowl is supported by two pigmy figures set on a base. The carving originates from the Trobriand Islands located off Mainland New Guinea. It was used to hold betel nuts. A popular chewing(and spitting out) condiment for the islanders. This piece was collected by an Australian missionary Daisy Coultard sometime between 1923 and 1929 during which period she had lived in New Guinea. Ms. Coultard eventually returned home to 24 Patrick St. Launceston, Tasmania in Australia where she lived out the rest of her life. When she eventually died, this bowl passed down to her niece in Victoria. The bowl has a reddish-brown aged patina with some staining from past use as well as faint remnants of lime embedded in the carved designs. There are some age cracks on this piece. Notably one on the base and another on one ... moreside of the bowl itself. There is also a small missing section from the circumference of the base, exposing wood grain which has mellowed into a lovely aged patina. Other than these minor losses, the carving is structurally very stable. This piece offers a real opportunity to own an authentic. Old Oceanic piece with a known provenance. Height is 12 inches or 30 cm. Width of bowl in 6-3/4 inches or 17 cm.
