The shell (kina: Pinctada maxima, pearl oyster) is a traditional currency that gave its name to the current Papuan currency... Remnants of natural resin remain on the back, often used by dancers to avoid injury from the shell's sharp edge during dances. Collected in the Highlands region of Papua New Guinea. Field photos by Michel Duthen. Sold with a base. Approx. 21 x 17 cm / €300 including base and free shipping within Europe.
