Pair of carved coconut shells, 1700s, rare. 214 grams total, 4-1/2" and 5" in length. Two ornately carved coconuts, each with different scenery and purpose but both with humorous carved faces at one end. One is a solid piggy bank with coin slot on top and carved medieval scenes of knights, castles, sword fighting on horseback and a mustachioed gentleman on one end. The other contains pierced primitive carvings of tropical scenery: palm trees, leaves, natives, flowers, a cross on top, and a fish face on one end. Ex.
