Canoe2716/1 a-c

The canoe (part a) is carved from one piece of wood in the shape of a crocodile. At the stern a crocodile is climbing out of the water and snatching a baby. Inside the canoe is a family fishing, with their dog. At the bow of the flat-bottomed dugout canoe is a carved crocodile head, with white decoration running along the sides and purple fibre tassels. Inside lies a black and white dog, then behind him an older male with a beard holding a paddle (part b), then a younger male. The female figure is next, with a yellow grass skirt, holding another paddle (part c) and is falling back away from the yellow and brown crocodile. The crocodile holds the pink baby between its many sharp teeth.
