This is a unique Woven Fiber Shell and Plastic Shell Headband from the Abelam Tribal People of Papua New Guinea. This would be considered a brides price with plastic discs and cowrie shells sewn on plant fiber backing with natural pigment dyed woven pieces. This piece was worn by a man as a headband indicating wealth and status. This is a wonderful headband and would be a wonderful addition to your collection or home.
