    This is a cup of sorts on a rope. i have no idea where it's from, but it reminds me of pieces i saw in New Zealand in 1980. i picked it up at Urban Ore in Berkeley the other day for a dollar. it's kind of cool. any thoughts?

      It isn't Maori, or Polynesian. It's from Borneo, Indonesia, identified by those iconic carved swirls on the lower portion of the vessel. Similar to Maori, I suppose, but distinctively different.

      thank you CanyonRoad. i was in Indonesia that same year. perhaps that's where i saw it.
