Here is a wooden Fijian mask featuring a hand carved turtle and a nifo oti (ceremonial dancing knife), the mask measures about 12 INCHES. This mask was hand carved and hand painted. Perfect for outdoor or indoor Polynesian Tiki decor!
Fijian culture: Carving was practiced by the men; carving would be used for items of practical use and simple shapes and design were used. A lot of effort was put into well adorned weapons and items for the home and ceremony, today carving is practiced for its use in tourism and no longer plays a major role in Fijian society and life except in the case of the Tanoa used from drinking Kava.
