Carlotta - the museum database
Kam av trästickor som täcks och hålls ihop av ett flätverk av färgade växtfibrer i färgerna rött, gult och svart. Växtfibrerna som används kommer från svart palm, rotting och de gula från de gula fibrerna från klätter-ormbunke (gleichenia).
Sådana här kammar tillverkades av folk uppe i höglandet på Malaita och var ofta föremål för byteshandel med kustfolket på Malaita.
Important to know about the information in the online collection databaseUsers of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
