A Papua New Guinea hand carved ebony lime spatula covered with continuous swirl designs etched on the open handle and shaft, with some traces of lime still present. Mounted on a custom steel base, this tribal artifact from the Massim people is also a stunning piece of modern sculpture. Rich patina from age and use. Early to mid 20th century.<\/p>\n

The peoples New Guinea use betel nut—areca palm fruit, which is chewed with lime made from burnt shells or coral and other substances as a mild stimulant. The ornate containers and spatulas used respectively to hold and serve lime are true works of art.<\/span><\/p>\n
