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. Collection

We pack securely sending worldwide

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

my wife Paula van den Berg and I, Koos Knol, both anthropologists, travelled a lot through Papua New Guinea and West Papua (former Irian Jaya), Solomon Islands and Vanuatu (former New Hebrides). We love local tribal arts, we collected thousands and thousands of artefacts, all authentic, sometimes old, sometimes more recent but mainly used objects in local traditional cultures. We are happy to give more detailed information about the artefacts we sell here on Catawiki. Please feel free to contact us.

The object is beautiful and it was packed with real care. There was a separate piece of wood in the package just to make sure the long object was protected from breakage.
