DESCRIPTION
Three axes. Mendi, Papua New Guinea, late 19th-early 20th century.
Green stone, rattan, wood.
Measurements: 50 cm (approx. each).
Certain axes, considered magical tools (tapu), were handled only by religious elites during certain fertility rites, in ceremonies linked to the construction of sacred canoes or chiefs' houses, or to put an end to war conflicts and mark the reign of a new chief.
