| Notes: | Ornamented Calabash (Gourd). This is one of the smaller calabashes of the New Zealanders, - on it is etched a correct delineation of the 'human face' (not divine) but, a la Nouvelle Zealande, tattooed. The hole in the neck of the gourd is just about the r, oots of hair over the forehead. These ornamented Calabashes are now getting very scarce, I have had this many years. WC | ||||
