Description from the seller
Wooden lime container from Geelvink Bay, West Papua. Used to hold powdered lime for betel chewing.
The container is decorated with carved motifs characteristic of the Geelvink Bay region. The ornamentation gives this practical object a distinctive decorative character and reflects the regional woodcarving tradition, in which everyday utensils were often carefully embellished.

Seller's Story
my wife Paula van den Berg and I, Koos Tuber, both anthropologists, traveling a lot through Papua New Guinea and West Papua (formerly Irian Jaya), Solomon Islands and Vanuatu (formerly New Hebrides). We love local tribal arts, we collected thousands and thousands of artifacts, all authentic, sometimes old, sometimes more recently but mainly used objects in local traditional cultures. We are happy to give more detailed information about the artifacts we sell here on Catawiki. Please feel free to contact us.
