A splendid green stone celt from Dormena village and used in traditional exchange transactions. Its most striking feature is its exceptionally vivid green colour—the brightest I have encountered in a celt. A distinctive piece for collectors of New Guinea stone artefacts.

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.
