Amy Wassing

Exquisite Design and Functionality
Its robust construction and balanced form make the axe a striking artifact, admired not only for its practicality in traditional use but also as a collector’s item. The subtle patina developed over time adds to its allure, speaking to countless hours of skilled labor and natural aging. Whether displayed as a work of art or appreciated for its historical significance, the great large Dani axe embodies the spirit of the Baliem Valley.
Welcome addition to any collection of tribal New Guinea Art/oceanic art

Sold by Koos Knol, ethnographer and anthropologist, dealer of Papua Tribal Art for more than 30 years, expert and author of the book “Papua Blues”, written in Dutch. (Maybe in English next year.)  Published end of October 2024
A book about inside stories, a book that deals with the many encounters with special people in West Papua, the impressive experiences that the author has, about special encounters with men and women who tell him about secret things, about ethnographic objects and initiate him into the rituals and ceremonies. 
A must have for collectors, ethnographers, ethnologists, anthropologists and museums
