New Guinea Wooden Hand Carved Food Stirrer Unusual Shape - East Coast (?):
$15.00

Onoffer is an unusually shapedwooden hand carved food stirrer from New Guinea. I purchased an item for my collection from Lawsons Tribal Art sale of Sydney back in the early 1980s and it was included in a batch of other New Guinea items. This was one of two wood stirrers included in the batch but I have lost the specific reference. It was, at the time, suggested to me that it originated on theeast coast of New Guinea (or on the north west coast of Papua (?) - not much help.I am not experienced with these and don\'t trulyknow where it comes from. It measures about 570mm, is obviously quite oldand is in excellent condition with use wear and especially nice use polish on the handle.It may be returned for refund within 7 days of purchase if not 100% satisfactory. See my \"other items\" for some Primitive Money \" and books on the same. Will combine postage.
