Hi fellow enthousiasts of Ethnographica,

A difficult area of art market. I have had some very good experiences with international Papuan art dealers but l no longer trust there views unless you have something thet would like to have. Your pieces are always questioned but their pieces are alway the right.

I guess it is with a lot of ethnographica, these pieces are from the World Museum and most of it, comes from the times it was still a colony of Holland, and many pieces where from late 19th century and early 20th century.

Hi Martin,

Thank you for sharing! So the exhibition is regarding West Papua only?
Do you have any information from where the shields in the attached picture are from? Especially the big one on the left? I would like to know the exact origin and where the salawaku was collected? The third from the left will be from the Galvinck Bay and the one on the complete right is Asmat I guess. Any information is given?

Regards,
Detlef

The website is frustratingly refusing to show me any images right now, but you should be able to find the shields here by searching for "schild", and then in the left hand menu clicking "Nu te zien", and then below that checking "Tijd voor Papua".
