ALL OF OUR AUCTIONS ARE PRIVATE DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING FAKE EMAILS SENT TO UNDERBIDDERS. This is the first one of these that we have seen in quite awhile and is from a well known family with early Waikiki ties. Measuring 3 1/2" in width and 1 3/4" in height this was used by the ancient Hawaiian sorcerer or Kahuna in casting spells and "Praying" victims to death (See Brigham's epic monograph from Bishop Museum for further details). Dating well before contact with the west we believe this rarity could date to the 17th century or before. A true piece of the utmost historical importance and of true museum quality we are listing it like all of our auctions without any reserve so good luck and be sure to check out the superb ancient Hawaiian poi pounder we have listed from the Dillingham estate, a couple of nice calabashes and a two beautiful lauhala hats complete with feather leis. Very careful packing and shipping with delivery confirmation by air flat rate US post will be $11.00 in the U.S. plus additional for insurance or $39.00 foreign plus insurance (Canada $22.00) and of course if you live in Hawaii it may be picked up at our office at no additional charge. All major credit cards accepted by fax with a signature. All sales final. Payment must be received within 7 days of auction ending or negative feedback will be left. Check out my other items!
