This interesting artwork is in very good condition. The rough edges, wavy surface, and somewhat uneven color are part of the artisan process. It is possible this clay involves volcanic ash.
The metal staple is sturdy and embedded for stable hanging.
This is an evocative, old world presence for admirers of the State of Hawaii, USA, or anyone who appreciates adventure on the high seas. It has a scrimshaw vibe.
