This old turtle shell armband comes from the Sepik Plains area-the kunai grasslands north of the Middle Sepik River. The piece is exceptional for its high relief carving (this is a sure indicator of an older armband) and the good remains of white lime in-filling. The armband is 5 ½" in height and has its own stand. sold
