PAPUA NEW GUINEA: doga necklace, Opitz p.134 (plate example), comprising a woven necklace with a large cowry shell and several discs, attached at the bottom with a near-full-circle boar tusk with four shell pendants and numerous colorful beads, secured on a black display plaque (38 x 25.5cm), highly valued as an important article in Kula trading ceremonies in the Trobriand Islands (see Opitz p.189), an excellent example! EF, ex Charles Opitz Collection. Acquired by the consignor from the native people on Kitava Island in 1995.
