Kava Bowl - - A vintage wooden Kava Bowl form the Philippines, traditionally called a 'tanoa fai 'ava”, made from a single piece of solid wood. Historically, the manufacture of tanoa was a specialised task and certain villages in Samoa acquired a reputation for producing quality work. Older forms of tanoa fai `ava have four legs, whereas most tanoa fai `ava seen today (like this one) have many legs, which are either round or square in section and usually set very close together. Today, tanoa fai 'ava are made in a range of sizes, big enough to serve large formal gatherings or small enough to be portable Condition: Very Good. Dim: 14,5(H)x36(diameter) cm.
