The finest objects brought to you by {name}

Amy Wassing

I personally collected this remarkable drum a few years before the devastating tsunami struck the region and wiped out many of the villages. It is a rare and authentic piece, carrying the spirit of a culture that was deeply affected by that disaster. Though it shows some minor chips, they only add to its historical value and authenticity. A unique opportunity to preserve and honor a vanishing heritage.

Sold by Koos Knol, ethnographer and anthropologist, dealer of Papua Tribal Art for more than 30 years, expert and author of the book “Papua Blues”, written in Dutch. (Maybe in English next year.)  Published end of October 2024
A book about inside stories, a book that deals with the many encounters with special people in West Papua, the impressive experiences that the author has, about special encounters with men and women who tell him about secret things, about ethnographic objects and initiate him into the rituals and ceremonies. 
A must have for collectors, ethnographers, ethnologists, anthropologists and museums
