This is a rare form of "karaut" boar’s tusk pectoral from either the Ilahita Arapesh or Sunahu Kwanga culture. Not only is this a rare form it has an extremely uncommon wood ancestral face attached to the center. The piece has good age, wonderful expression, is 11" in height and sells for $2500. Questions?
