Papua New Guinea

12 necklaces from the collection of Jac Hoogerbrugge. Two with the collection number of Hoogerbrugge. Likely collected in 1957, but no later than 1968 (visible from the numbers). Among them are shells, Casuaris nails, glass, brass, seeds, and bone. The yellow beads and the millefiori beads are probably from China and Africa and ended up in Papua through exchange. The blue glass beads come from the North Coast (where Hoogerbrugge was in the 1950s). See his collection notes.
