Shell currency has been used since the beginning of trade and is found in most every country: simple, with the good earth ground into the pores of shell by decades ofconstantwear. Smooth shell, - humble origins and yet so beautiful. There\'s more at play than appearance - its also about the cultures and societies that birthed and used these items.

Each of these discs was made by an individual, probably with children running about, dogs yapping, birds and insects singing, talking to companions. They were used as bride price, dowry, to purchase goods and property. The discs were woven into belts, worn as necklaces, adorned foreheads.There were multiple uses, just as other cultures use silver and gold coins as adornment but also currency. WWII was decades in the future. The people went about their lives.
Above, 2approximately36\" strands of conus shellcurrencyfrom theSolomonIslands, on the original macrame belt. The largest diameter disc is 2.5\" . Most are between 100 to 200 years old,beautifully worn.

ethnic people of indonesia are diverse in culture and tradition, this fine old mask shows sign of extensive use thus making it authentic and an absolute good investment.

I have been collecting tribal art and antiquesfor well over 25 years, my collecting trips have taken me to many distant countries, the artifacts of interest are authentic tribal and ethnographic implements used in divination and healing.

my travels have taken me to out of the way places where there are no cars or hotels, some of the remote places are only reachable by foot , so I often take long treks into the bush to find some of these rarepieces, but mostly its a question of being in the right place at the right time , my collectionconsistsof ethnographicmaterial from animist tribal peoples of Africa Asia and south East Asia
