"Traditional Currency, Talipun, Primitive Arts, Oceanic Art, Oceania, Tribal Art"
Rare traditional Papuan currency called "Talipun". The population of the village of Yangoru makes masks or very stylized figures in basketwork and attaches them to the shells of the giant marine snail "Turbo marmoratus" which they obtain from the tribes of the coast. The finished object is then kept by the Yangoru who use it or trade it with the Iatmul, who use these strange and composite works of art as a dowry. Boiken area. Free Shipping.
