This is a Bilum Bag from the Goroka, Papua New Guinea. Throughout New Guinea and West Papua string bags are essential companions to men, women, and children, protection, and fertility. The flexible, looped net bags called Bilums are made by using hand-spun bark fibers formed into a strong two-ply string. This ornately designed Bilum Bag with feathers and conus shells and seed pods would have been used only during ceremonies and special occasions. Fancy Time, as to Fancy the person up and show wealth. This was collected in the field and would be a wonderful addition to your home and collection.
