AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Three beautiful necklaces of the Dani from the Baliem Valley, Papua New Guinea. Old shells with weathered patina. Since the sea is far from the Baliem Valley, shells were important objects of great value, often passed down from generation to generation.

Here are 3 kauri shell bands. Also valuables of the Dani.

Allen collected by Jac Hoogerbrugge in the 1950s or 1960s. See his collection note at the collection number.
