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. This tanoa is very similar
to No.11 except the bowl is not as deep (making it lighter) and there is not
as much carved designs around the outside. It has the traditional, dark luster
patina from burying it in mud for a considerable time 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 3 tanoas in the photos measured: First one: 16" in
diameter - Price: $150.00 (plus shipping).
Second one: 15" in diameter - Price: $135.00
Third one: 12" in diameter wide tanoa - $75.00 (plus shipping)
