This excellent-condition early 20th-century ornament from Papua New Guinea is assembled from natural materials, including mother-of-pearl shells, and may have been worn as a necklace or bracelet.
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.
