Description
An account of the resource
Lower jaw of domestic boar - tusks almost fully recurved. For ceremonial use. 'A man's whole life at Santo depends upon the pig. Chieftanship is not hereditary in the north as in the south of New Hebrides group. If a man kills eleven pigs with circular tusks, he becomes a high chief, and takes his rank accordingly in next world. Sows are only fit for females.' (Reid 1912, p286).

Sickert (1860-1942) trained at the Slade School and under J. A. M. Whistler. Much influenced by Degas whom he met in 1883. Lived in Dieppe 1899-1905.
