Bowl
This four-footed bowl was used for the preparation of kava, a ceremonial drink that is widespread in almost all of Polynesia. For this purpose, crushed root pieces of the kava plant (Piper methysticum) were mixed with water in large bowls to produce a mildly intoxicating drink. Text: Ulrich Menter
