Here is a wooden Fijian mask with two hand carved turtles representing the god of the fishing and occean, the mask measures about 20 INCHES. This mask was hand carved and hand painted.
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.
