A Collection of Fine Old New Guinea Stone-Headed Clubs From Papua New Guinea
This fine collection of old Stone Headed Clubs are from different areas of Papua New Guinea, the stone Club Heads are from the 19th Century and some are much older.
Stone Clubs were made and used all over the island of New Guinea. Ancient Stone Club Heads are found buried in people’s gardens that were left or lost by previous generations and other Stone Club Heads have been in families or clans for centuries. The Clubs come in several types of forms described as Stone Discs, and Pineapple Headed. Star Shaped, Round Shaped & Oval Tubular, there are also variations and unique shapes. This collection I have made over 35 years by keeping the best examples I have had the chance to buy. When they are displayed on stands in a group they look like an amazing sculptural installation as my photos suggest.
Provenance: The Todd Barlin Collection of New Guinea Oceanic Art
