Rare Kanak kagu Wooden Bird Beak Puzzle, New Caledonia, 19th Century
Rare Kanak war club of the Kagu type (Birds beak) in hardwood, from New Caledonia, Melanesia, 19th century.This is an exceptional Kanak art collectors item due to its imposing size and its rare balance on this type of object.This ancient combat tool, carved in a beautiful solid hardwood decorated with a magnificent dark brown and shiny patina, is distinguished by its long cylindrical handle which ends in a stylized birds head, with an elongated beak, two raised eyes and a crest falling at the back of the neck.The handle reflects the traditional style of Kanak clubs. Clubs are an integral part of the Kanak arsenal. Although several forms exist, the most widespread are divided mainly into two categories: phallic brain teasers and those in the shape of a birds beak or turtle.Their use for war and dances is omnipresent throughout New Caledonia. According to Maurice Leenhardt, these objects are used to express virility during war speeches, an essential aspect of the oral tradition. The different forms do not correspond to a specific use, but reflect regional styles, each socio-political group imprinting its identity on the objects it uses.These clubs were brandished during the pilous, in particular for the declamation of genealogical speeches, symbolizing masculine virility and power. A drawing in Indian ink on tracing paper, made around 1954, attests to the objects collected before 1900 by the curator Bernier for the New Caledonian Museum. This model of Kanak puzzle, called “phallic”, represents a formidable weapon used in close combat in New Caledonia.
