Ornately carved and painted hooks like this are used inside PNG houses for hanging up net bags and other household articles. This piece measures in at 40" H x 11" W, which is a traditional size for these hooks. Kicking things in production mode here this month, getting ready for the International Tiki Marketplace at Don the Beachcomber's next month! Looking forward to getting back out to SoCal... sun, surf and palm trees! [ Edited by: Lake Surfer 2013-01-13 12:31 ]
