Behold the Remarkable Fijian Drua Canoe Scale Model
This exquisite piece of craftsmanship transcends mere replication. Every aspect of this masterpiece has been meticulously constructed to satisfy and delight the discerning collector. It's not just a piece of art—it's a statement of luxury and heritage.
This painstakingly crafted model pays homage to the traditional Fijian Drua Canoe, renowned for its remarkable speed and iconic twin-hull design. Every detail, from the intricately carved prow to the miniature ropes and rigging, reflects the dedication to accuracy and authenticity. Even the miniature sails are woven with precision and capture the essence of the original vessel.
Crafted by the award-winning artist, Francis Pimmel, this scale model exudes elegance. It's not just a decorative piece; it's a tangible piece of Fijian maritime history. Constructed using premium materials that include fine woods and other authentic components, it's built to last for generations. It will become a timeless addition to your collection.
As a collector's dream, this model is an investment that represents both the expertise of the craftsman and the rich cultural heritage of Fiji. Its rarity and attention to detail make it a testament to the appreciation of fine art and maritime history.
Due to its exceptional craftsmanship and exclusivity, this Fijian Drua Canoe Scale Model commands a price that reflects its true value. For those who seek the pinnacle of artistry and authenticity, this masterpiece is a symbol of distinction among collectors. This model is a scaled down version of the Ratu Finau War Canoe found in the Fiji Museum of Suva and is available only at the Polynesian Cultural Center.

About the Fijian Double Canoe: The Fijian double canoe (wangga ndrua) was the largest and finest sea-going vessel ever designed and built by natives of Oceania before contact with Europeans. Druas were large, up to 100 feet (30 meters) long, and could carry over 200 people. Despite being called canoes, they were not dugouts, but plank-built ships. Today, Fiji druas are still a symbol of Fiji, and Fiji's telephone booths are decorated with the characteristic mast-tops of druas, the tagaga.
