Catalogue Note
ivi po'o, aux traits profondément gravés. Le dos présente un deuxième visage stylisé. Patine laiteuse, nuancée.
Les ivi po'o étaient utilisés par les populations des îles Marquises à la fois comme ornements personnels - portés autour du cou ou insérés dans la coiffure - ou comme éléments décoratifs d'objets rituels ou de la vie quotidienne.
