Set of arrows Dutch colonial period New-Guinea - Panapana - North Papua - West Papua (No Reserve Price)
Set of 10 Old Arrows — Inland North Coast Papua (Field Collected 1950s)
A rare and authentic set of ten traditional arrows from the inland north coast of Papua, field collected in the 1950s. These arrows display classic regional craftsmanship, with finely worked shafts, natural bindings, and original point forms typical of mid-20th-century Papuan material culture.
The set offers an insightful glimpse into traditional hunting and warfare practices and would make an exceptional addition to any collection of Oceanic, ethnographic, or tribal art. All arrows are in original, unrestored condition, showing age, patina, and field use consistent with their provenance.
A seldom-seen opportunity to acquire a complete matched group from this region and period.
