This is my Asmat Sheild (80")and an Asmat Sago bowl which it is believed that the brains of a headhunted enemy were served on such bowls. This sago bowls is shallow and elaborately carved only on the undersides with the Handle in the shape of a ancestor. Size: 26"x10". Both collected in the 1960s

I also have some intersesting New Guinea pottery which I have lost the info on where it was from, probably the Sepik River area.
