A Pair Of Celts Belonging Together As Twins Lake Sentani New Guinea

Twin Jade Celts - Lake Sentani, Papua. This remarkable offering consists of two finely crafted jade celts originating from the Lake Sentani region in West Papua.

Acquired as a matched pair, the celts were described as "twins" by the original owners-suggesting not only physical similarity but also a shared cultural or ceremonial purpose. The symmetry, finish, and proportional harmony between the two strongly indicate they were produced together, likely as a symbolic or ritual set. Dating: Estimated to the 18th century, based on stylistic features, tool marks, and provenance. Acquired in 1994 in Hobong village. Since collection we kept it in our personal collection.
