Oceanic Art - Shell grave markers, Solomon Islands

These beautiful slices of shells were used as grave markers on the Solomon Islands. The base is perfectly flat, but unfortunately takes a curve from my camera lens. They range from 4" to 5.5" in height and are mounted as a group. Early 20th century. #1825  SOLD
