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 a deep
bowl and the carved designs 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 18" in diameter and
8 " high and would be $190.00 (plus shipping).
A 15" wide tanoa (7" high/deep) would be $150.00 (plus shipping).
