Title: Carved Wooden Bowls
Description: Natives of Siassi Island, Papua New Guinea, carved beautiful wooden bowls and inlaid them with geometric shell designs. Prestige products, they were traded throughout the area; a single bowl could buy a pig or a dog. This lot features a bowl with pointed handles and another with handles in the form of a fantastic shark or fish with dorsal fins. Both examples illustrated in Opitz, p. 90, second and third from top.
