Went out on black friday but skipped the mall & hit the antique stores with my brother Bongofury instead. Pretty good scores. A small 17" tall shield w/ handle on back- looks old & probably African- but maybe PNG. Price was dirt cheap. Cool Sepik River Ancestral flying fox mask. Amazing amount of carving detail that the flash washed out. 20" tall My favorite find was the Yipwon cult hook hunting charm- the tall dark one in the back. It's 50" tall. Similar one on page 234 of Oceanic Art by Anthony JP Meyer. And I almost forgot. Snagged this PNG mask on Evilbay yesterday for a whopping $7.37!!!!! Listed wrong. How sweet it is!
