Due ornamenti di prestigio (kapkap), Santa Isabel, arcipelago delle Isole Salomone Inizio del XX secolo Diametro: 16,5 e 18,5 cm Acquasantiera, tartaruga e conchiglie. Costituiti da un disco di tridacna sormontato da una sottile placca di tartaruga traforata con un motivo radiale a rosetta, questi kapkap sono tra gli ornamenti più emblematici delle Isole Salomone. Indossati durante le cerimonie da uomini di alto rango, costituivano insegne di prestigio associate allo status sociale e all’autorità. L’associazione di materiali preziosi di origine marina e la notevole finezza del decoro testimoniano il virtuosismo degli artigiani di Santa Isabel, le cui creazioni figurano tra le più raffinate dell’arte melanesiana. Provenienza: Galleria americana.
