Item # .BO06
Description .Rare late 19th early 20th c. Ridgepole figure from a Chieftans hut. Aquired by a Missionary working in the Trobriand Islands in the 1930’s. He died in the 1982 in Bundaberg and I later bought it from his son along with other Massim pieces. Massim Expert Harry Beran says that this piece is most likely from GAWA Island and with magic said over it protects a house. Age split runs down face but does not detract from importance of figure.
