Carved Wood Crocodile Boat Prow
About the Item
A vintage carved wood crocodile head boat prow from Papua New Guinea. This mid-20th century Papua New Guinean boat prow has been carved out of wood and features the head of a crocodile. This boat prow is displayed and supported on a custom black iron Stand. The carvings on this crocodile feature ornately decorated skin, and a sleek head with squinting eyes and closed mouth. Villagers in Papua New Guinea would adorn their canoes with such prows as they traveled the inland rivers, swap lands, lagoons and coastal regions of their territories. Papua New Guinea is a very rugged country with few roads so these canoes were an essential mode of transportation. Please note that we have additional crocodile head boat prows available in various sizes. A collection of these would look amazing atop a console, large shelf, or library table! Measures: 3.5+ Ft wide.
