    Description

    Society Archipelago, island of Tahiti, early 20th century, very pretty pestle, penu in Tahitian, in gray basalt, whose function was to reduce the pulp of fruits and tubers to a paste on "papahia" wooden pestle boards or tables.
    This "penu" was carved from a block of stone, then roughened with an adze and finally finished in its final form by a long process of abrasion. The top part is adorned with a phallic motif. The lower part is perfectly shaped for its purpose. Wear around the rim confirms its age and regular use over a long period.
    Height 19.5 cm. Width 13.9 cm. The scale indicator on the last photograph is a small model of a lighter from a well-known brand.
    Good condition. Normal wear and tear contributing to the beauty of the piece.
    We take particular care with our packaging, using optimum protection. Shipping includes insurance. Shipping rates: Metropolitan France: 25 euros, European Union countries and Switzerland: 35 euros, Eastern Europe and North Africa: 65 euros, United States, Australia, Asia and the rest of the world: 125 euros.
