Papua New Guinea Headhunter Jawbone Necklace replica (qty 1)

Sorry, this item has sold.

This is a highly detailed and realistic replica based on an actual example and/or anthropological studies of head hunter artifacts from the Asmat tribe of Papua New Guinea, as well as similar practices as far northwest as the hill tribes of India. Each is created individually by me and is unique in coloring, tooth configuration, and decorative additions. Necklace is slide adjustable. Starting with a high quality resin anatomical jawbone of realistic size and weight, each jawbone is modified, carved, stained, painted, aged, and otherwise adorned as shown to create an authentic and realistic necklace. Adornments are as authentic to the region and anthropological examples as reasonably possible.
