About the Item
A wonderful 20th Century Samoan/Fijian circular wooden kava bowl called a tanoa fai'ava and carved from a single piece of wood and standing on seventeen round legs. Made of a native hard wood. Measures 8" wide by 3 1/4" tall.
Kava bowls are used for mixing a sedative drink made from the roots of the kava plant, which is crushed to a powder and then mixed with water. Bowls of this type have become important symbols of Samoan hospitality.
