Forgot to put up this bad boy...
My folks found it someplace in rural Wisconsin (go figure)
It's almost 6ft tall:
Story is that it came over from PNG with a bunch of other
artifacts. It was purchased directly from the guy that made it.
Now have a line of defense against spear attacks.

That picture kind of makes it look like it's picking it's nose.

Advertised in Perth, Western Australia - 22nd August.
Would probably make the kids think twice about hanging out in your Tiki room
when you're not at home.
I would be more than happy to act as middle man for anyone interested.
The owner seems to have quite a collection and I'll add any others that come to light.

For anyone interested, I am thinking we'll take a road trip to Bloomington in October as a new shipping container arrives from PNG. I don't have a lot of room left, but am looking for a few things. If you want to join me, please send me a PM. Once it becomes "official", I'll make it an event and spread the word more.

Imposing at 3 feet tall, hard to capture it close up.
The bottom half of the cowries and clay were gone. My first attempt to restore one of these. Got the shells online, brown & black acrylic paint and some brown clay from Micheal's. Oh, and some hard-to-find little shells from Auau (thanks!)
