Description
A carved coconut shell dipper or drinking cup, probably Oceanic in origin, with a spare but elegant form, and no decoration other than the spade-shaped projection at one end. It measures 4 7/16" long by 3 3/16" wide. I assume that the projection was intended as a fastening point for a cord. From the signs of wear and color of the surface, I'm guessing that it dates from the first half of the 20th century. There is a tight hairline crack on one edge.
