This Graceful Traditional
Kava Bowl was handcarved from one piece of very dense local hardwood (IFILELE
tree wood) so is heavy in weight. Large pieces of this Ifilele wood are becoming
increasingly hard to get as the trees are very slow growing. It has 2 or 4
carved handles which are wrapped with handbraided 3-strand traditional sennet
which is the pounded fiber of the coconut husk. It has a deep bowl and the
carved designs around the outside are wide and very detailed. It has the traditional,
dark luster patina from burying it in mud for a considerable time before the
design is carved and then polishing it with a pig's tooth and has a lovely
grain to the wood on the inside of the bowl.
Prices: The tanoa in the photos measured 16" in diameter and
7.5 " high (deep) and would be $180.00 (plus shipping).
This tanoa is not made in a smaller size but can be made in the larger 18"
size for $220.00 (plus shipping).
