Papuan dagger in engraved cassowary bone
Papuan handicrafts
This beautiful dagger comes from the Sepik region of Papua New Guinea. It has been carefully crafted by Papuan warriors.
The bone has been placed on a display stand from which it can be removed.
Originally designed as real weapons whose role was to finish off victims, daggers have become, over time, more ritualistic magical objects for ceremonies. They are a reminder of past battles and symbolise the strength of the warrior.
Material: varnished engraved cassowary bone
Total size with base: 37cm
