AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A beautiful and unusual old tribal ornament from Papua New Guinea, possibly worn as a necklace or bracelet. This attractive piece is carefully assembled from various natural materials, including beautiful nacre (mother-of-pearl) shells, creating a fascinating combination of textures, shapes and natural colours. The ornament reflects the traditional craftsmanship and artistic expression of the indigenous peoples of Melanesia, where shell ornaments have long played an important role in personal adornment, ceremonial life and social relationships. The exact cultural origin and original manner of wearing this piece remain uncertain. It comes from the old collection of Ulrich Kortmann in Germany, a provenance that adds to its interest. With its attractive appearance, traditional materials and old collection history, this is a particularly appealing piece of Oceanic tribal jewellery. A wonderful addition to any collection of traditional ornaments, ethnographic objects or tribal art from Papua New Guinea and Oceania. The ornament will be carefully packed for safe shipment.

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.
