A kula prowbard: an iconological interpretation

Autori

  • Giancarlo Scoditti

Abstract

The present article attempts to explain the probable visual meaning of the prowboard of the kula canoes carved in Kitava Island.
The author's interpretation consists in an iconological analysis of the carved symbols in relation to their verbal meaning. The essential thesis is that the verbal and non-verbal meanings of a sign share the same logical structure.
