Coconut head

The head is made from coconut. The human face is carved into the shell, the hair is made from the fibre and the cap is made from the outer skin of the coconut. The object was purchased for the collection in January 1923. More precise details about its origin are not known, but it is presumably an object that was produced for the trade.
