Shell Plaque (Barava) from Solomon Islands, 19th Century
Objects crafted from the shell of the giant Tridacna clam, also known as the fossilized giant clam, held great value among numerous Melanesian peoples. The artistry of working with fossilised Tridacna reached its zenith in the Solomon Islands, particularly evident in the creation of intricate and prestigious objects like the barava – perforated plates originating from the western Solomon Islands.While some barava designs feature geometric patterns, many incorporate stylised human figures intertwined with shapes reminiscent of faces, characterised by spiral eyes and smiling mouths adorned with tiny teeth. Traditionally, barava were closely linked with burial sites, often used to embellish structures housing the skulls of esteemed individuals or enemies, or placed atop graves. In the past, certain barava even played a role in vovoso, potent charms worn aboard war canoes during headhunting expeditions, safeguarding the crew and ensuring successful endeavours.The Didier Zanette Collection offers insight into these remarkable artefacts. Additionally, a selection of other 19th-century objects crafted from giant clam shells remains available.For further exploration of this fascinating subject, refer to the book:Tridacna Gigas: Objects of Prestige in Melanesiaby Éric Lancrenon and Didier ZanetteISBN: 9782915654929Publisher: Au vent des îlesPublication Date: November 16, 2011Series: Pacific CulturePages: 277Dimensions: 29.5 x 23.5 x 2.9 cm
