About the sculpture

In the museum's own words — in French

E.Hamy: 'le cabinet de Cherbourg-Octeville possède un de ces tikis en lave, que les marins de Noukahiva jettent à la mer, attaché à leurs filets, pour avoir une pêche heureuse'. Tiki en basalte, de petites dimensions. L'objet, dont la tête est cassée et manque, est assez informe. Les bras paraissent séparés du corps, mais ont également cassés. Une étiquette accompagnait les deux objets 'Statuettes du dieu Tiki attachées au filet pour y attirer le poisson'. (Anne Lavondès)
