EARLY FINE KUKUKUKU PINEAPPLE STONE HEADED CLUB, MOROBE PROVINCE, PAPUA NEW GUINEA. Carved hardwood, stone and woven natural fibre. The Angu or Ă„nga people, also called Kukukuku (pronounced 'cookah-cookah') live mainly in the high, mountainous region of south-western Morobe province of Papua New Guinea. Even though they are a short people, often less than five feet tall, they were once feared for their violent raids on more peaceful villages living in lower valleys. The stone club heads came in a variety of shapes and forms and are remarkably the only really aesthetic objects this group created. Approx L85 x 8cm. PROVENANCE Ex Leo Fleischmann Collection LF/C55, Sydney Private collection, Sydney
