    Details

    Description

    A fine, old bird-head war club or go porowa ra maru (in the Paici language). This type of weapon, although thought by Europeans to represent a bird head or beak, is most probably the highly stylized image of the head of the beaked sea turtle. New Caledonia, Melanesia. Hard wood with its original patina of age and use. 65,5 x 26,5 x 9 cm. 18/19th century. Manuscript in ink on the lower section of the head : ?Gage d'amitié (effacé) offert à Auguste - par le Général de Trentinian - Noumea Nle Caledonie - 27 Avril 1879 - (autre main) Mcluff (ou) Mcduff ?: ? An offering of (in) friendship given to Auguste ?by the General de Trentinian ? Noumea New Caledonia ? 27 April 1879 € (other hand) Mcluff (or) Mcduff. Brigadier General Arthur-Ernest, Count of TRENTINIAN (1822-1885) who was commanded by the French government to investigate and report on the reasons for the Kanak up-rising and revolt of 1878 wrote an incriminating report (Rapport du général de brigade A. de Trentinian, « sur les causes de l'insurrection canaque en 1878 », Nouméa, 4 février 1879) which was quickly surpressed in which he said insubstance : ? nous sommes venus en leur parlant de justice, de progrès, d'égalité ... et rien de tout cela ne leur a été donné. Ne vous étonnez donc pas qu'ils se soient révoltés ? (we came speaking of justice, progress, equality... And non of this was given. Do not be surprised thay they revolted). He often said ? lorsque l'on prend la responsabilité d'autres peuples l'important n'est pas de gagner des territoires, mais de conquérir les c?urs ? (When we take on the responsability over other peoples what is import is not the ground we conquer but their hearts).
