Authentic Bullroarer – Asmat – South Papua – Field Collected 1997 An authentic and evocative bullroarer from the Asmat region of South Papua, field collected in 1997. Bullroarers among the Asmat are sacred ritual instruments. When swung on a cord during night ceremonies and initiation feasts, they produce a deep, resonant, vibrating sound believed to be the voice of ancestral spirits. The sound carries through the darkness of the village, reinforcing the presence of the unseen world and the authority of tradition. Carved from wood and shaped for acoustic effect, this example shows careful workmanship and a surface consistent with ritual handling and age. Such objects are not mere instruments but embodiments of spiritual communication between the living community and their ancestors. With documented field collection and strong ceremonial significance, this piece represents an important and highly collectible example of Asmat ritual art. A powerful object of sound, spirit, and ancestral presence. We pack with care Sending worldwide
