Amy Wassing

Superb kina shell with Stone Age drilled holes to attach the carrying strap and ornamentation.  The delicately crafted strap is exquisitely braided from vegetable fibres (bush rope) and is decorated with 4 cowrie shells and a pendant made from possum fur. On one side is a pendant made from fishing line with Job’s tears and a piece from a nautilus (guess). This pendant has been added at a later date. The custom-made metal stand is included in the auction and will be supplied with the object.

1st half 20th century - Good condition, used with some signs of wear
