Mister Naufrago the mug you have pictured is the OMC South Seas Deity mug, used at a few locales. I was referring to the mug in this link:http://www.ooga-mooga.com/cgi-bin/all/mug.cgi?mode=view&mug_id=157, not identical, just exhibiting some interesting similarities, and a similar questionable cultural heritage.
Silverline, definitely from the Sepik area of PNG. The style of painting and shells, but also that tight weaving used as trim around diameter of the oval. Nice score!
