This vibrantly colored woven men's dance apron comes from the Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea. Worn during ceremonial dances the piece has cuscus fur above woven straps that hang down with tassels of pig's tails and one sharp cassowary toenail (ouch!). The apron is 23" in height, mounted on a custom display stand. sold
