Sentani Bone Dagger – Asei Village, Lake Sentani, West Papua
A rare and finely preserved bone dagger from Asei Village on Lake Sentani, West Papua. According to the provenance information, this dagger was discovered in a fisherman’s net.
Bone daggers are a distinctive part of the material culture of the Sentani region. Examples from Lake Sentani are known in early ethnographic collections, and their characteristic forms and decoration distinguish them from bone daggers from other regions of New Guinea.
The Asei community, situated on an island in Lake Sentani, has a particularly rich artistic tradition, including highly distinctive carved and painted forms. The present dagger is an evocative object from this cultural environment and represents an early example of Sentani craftsmanship.
Provenance: Asei Village, Lake Sentani, West Papua
Find: reportedly recovered from a fisherman’s net
Dating: 20th century, according to provenance information
Material: bone
A fascinating and historically evocative piece of Sentani material culture, with an unusual find history.
