Tibkusikus canoe wheel, Budibudi Islands. Laughlan Islands group Carved and openworked wood Height: 32cm Length: 56cm 20th century Provenance: - Collected on the Budibudi Islands by Harry Beran in January 1983 - Harry Beran Collection (HB 251) - Marcia and John Friede. The Jolika Collection. Rye, New York Bibliography: - Marcelin, 2016. Art Massim, reproduced page 30, no. 9 The base of the rough, thick, rigid bow is skilfully contrasted with its sculpted, openwork, undulating decoration, giving the work that paradoxical duality of weight and lightness, symbolically significant, of the ship's heaviness and the lightness of the wind enabling them to sail.
