AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Cassowary bone dagger decorated with cassowary feathers and jungle seeds
The dagger retains its complete decorative ensemble and is well preserved. A distinctive feature is the carefully carved, arrow-shaped point, which gives the blade an unusual profile. The natural texture of the bone, together with the feathers and seeds, adds to the character of this striking piece.

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.
