DC Dusty, Yes, from Ben, he was selling these over in Tiki Marketplace in his garage sale. Picked up some carvings today. Not sure about of couple of them? Papua New Guinea carving. Not sure of the orgin of this guy. Kind of looks like a tiki mask on his head? Older Nifo Oti, damaged handle. Shield that is about 5' tall, heavy with a crocodile carving. Cannot place this to anywhere specific, although I am guessing possibly African? Most African shields are made of hide or skin, so this could be from some other exotic locale?? Edit-it has been pointed out the style and design of the carving represents Aboriginal crocodile design. Thanks! Later, PTD [ Edited by: Psycho Tiki D 2011-11-23 15:40 ]
