"New Hebrides War Bows, Oceania. 19th Century "
Two semi-reflex bows – New hebrides, late 19th century. Made from brown hardwood, these semi-circular bows feature an delicate semi-reflex profile and are finished with finely carved tips. These war weapons, of rare elegance, require absolute precision in both their manufacture and their use, and embody the perfect alliance between know-how and efficiency.
Perfectly preserved, two old custom-made bases.
