AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This set of four bone tools was used in the preparation of betel nut. Most likely dating from the early 20th century, the pieces have different histories: some were found on the lakebed during fishing, while others had long been kept by elders, including members of a chief’s family.
Their individual forms and long histories give the set considerable character. Offered together, these four tools make a remarkable group for a collection of traditional objects from Papua.
