Fue by Jon Apisa

Fue


“Fue” sketchbook drawing by Jon Apisa.

This was inspired by the “fue” which is a whisk used in cultural protocol by the Matai (titleholder/chief) of Sāmoa.

Among the Matai are the Tulafale (Orator) who use the fue (made with sennit and wooden handle) and the toʻotoʻo (wood staff) as cultureal symbols during the lāuga (ceremonial speech).
