Basalt height 5in (12.7cm) Provenance: Hemmeter Collection, Hawaii (HM-116 in white on underneath) Christies, Paris, December 10, 2003, Lot 120 Private Collection, Honolulu, HI According to Buck (1957: p.31), "The stirrup pounder is the second of the specialized forms from Kauai and, like the ring pounder, is unique to that island. The descriptive term stirrup was applied locally from a fancied resemblance to the foreign stirrup; and as no specific Hawaiian name has been recorded for this pounder their term may be continued arbitrarily to distinguish it from the other two types of pounders."
