Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii — Cannibal fork displayed at Honolulu’s Bishop Museum. The extent of cannibalism in Hawaii and Polynesia, in general, is a sketchy subject, greatly exaggerated by sensationalistic European and American writers. Contrary to legend, Captain Cook was not eaten by cannibals — but his body was roasted to facilitate the removal of his bones, which were thought to contain power.

This fork is similar to the Fijian cannibal forks sold to tourists.

Cleo is clean and modern in shape but adds a decorative touch to the tabletop with a sweeping line across the surface separating the two tones. It has a Mid-Century modern feel to it with a suggestion of organic activity.
