(1990) One of the prize pieces from the workshop of famed Polynesian Pop carver, LeRoy E. Schmaltz. These Polynesian War Canoes with five war club-weilding Marquesan warriors on board is surely one of the most elaborate creations to come from OA. Although this wasn't officially an OA catalog item, a handful of these have been created over the years. The labor and materials involved kept these to only being created by hand and no two were alike. According to LeRoy, only a couple dozen were made in his 65+ year career. Beautiful craftsmanship in concept and design. The epitome of Poly-Pop decor. Enhanced with bits of raffia ties on spears and boat ends. Hand painted. Solid wood. Signed and personalized by LeRoy Schmaltz. *Special shipping considerations on this oversized artifact. 80"x23". VG+.
