Three Figural Flutes

Collecting Opportunities - Dave DeRoche

$700 each. Finely carved wood figures fiber-lashed to long, hollow bamboo flute poles with artful incised line designs that could be more beautiful if the dried mud were sponged off. Some shells, fibers, and cordage adorn the figures like humans wear earrings and caches sexes. Incisings (scars?) show traces of white pigment. One floor base could display this threesome standing dramatically. These were all collected in the same village.
