EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a ceremonial lime container known as ahumama, dating back to the 19th-early 20th century. Crafted from sandalwood, this exquisite piece of Oceanic art measures approximately 18.4x6.7x6.7 cm and is currently housed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. The intricate carving on this wooden container depicts figures squatting in a Pacific Rim setting, evoking a sense of cultural richness and tradition. The attention to detail is remarkable, with each figure meticulously crafted to convey their significance within the ethnographic context. As an important vessel used during ceremonies and parties in Oceania, this ahumama holds great historical value. Its presence serves as a tangible link between past generations and contemporary understanding of indigenous cultures. The Roberta Coke Camp Fund has generously contributed to preserving this artifact for future generations to appreciate its beauty and cultural importance. This photograph captures the essence of the ceremonial lime container's craftsmanship while also highlighting its significance within Oceanic ethnography. Displayed by Bridgeman Images through Fine Art Finder, this image allows us to admire the skillful carvings that adorn this unique vessel without commercial intentions or copyright restrictions hindering our appreciation for it.
