This fish protruded from the roof of a men’s house we came across along the northern coast in the Humboldt Bay area. Years later, the sacred men’s house had fallen into disrepair, and a new one was built. We were allowed to take one of the fish figures. This is therefore an old, authentic piece, the kind you now only encounter in museums. It has been part of our collection for decades. However, as we now live in a smaller home, it is available for sale. I am curious to see which enthusiast of Oceanic art will become its fortunate new owner. Fine addition to any New Guinea Art/oceanic art.
