Gorgeously shaped tusk boar, almost complete circle – 360°!

Round boar tusk for hanging (has a hole), with a beautiful patina from being used by several generations over a long time. These boars are bred. The pig is fed by hand as it is no longer able to feed itself due to the curvature of the tusks. These tusks play an important role as valuable/prestigious and power objects in the culture of many tribes in New Guinea. 
Provenance: Ralf Stüttgen Collection, Wewak, ESP, PNG.    

When it comes to this type of MONEY, this is certainly an ancient, extraordinary piece, beautifully polished by a long period of use.

Diameter 9,3 cm!
