Item:145452236172Vintage Hand Painted Machete Knife Art Tropical Caribbean Haitian Artist Susette. Susette, a renowned artist from Haiti, chose acrylic paints and the steel blade of this machete knife as mediums for his beautiful painting of island life. Both sides of the machete blade are painted with two different scenes. Truly a special object of art for the island life collector who has "everything". Medium: Steel Machete Knife Blade & Acrylic Paints (Blade has been purposely dulled) Side A: Ocean Water Taxi - Color Side B: Village Life - Balck & White Dimensions (approximate): Length 20 1/2" x Height 3 7/8" From 1492 until very recent times, sugar cane was the dominant economic driver of the Caribbean Islands. Not until the 1970s or 80s did tourism displace sugar as the economic engine of the Caribbean. Sugar cane plantations were the primary employer of both slave and later free labor. Sugar cane grows tall like corn, however, its stalk is fibrous and tough. Human muscle wielding a machete was means of harvest. For this reason, a machete holds special symbolic significance to the Haitian people as well as all Caribbean peoples. Bannas become predominant the cash crop of the Hawaiian Islands, and like the Caribbean, the machete was the tool of harvest. *Colors may vary due to lighting.
