Papua is bordered by the nation of Papua New Guinea to the east, and by West Papua province to the west. Since 2002, Papua province has special autonomy status, making it a special region.

It was formerly called Irian Jaya (and earlier West Irian or Irian Barat) and comprised all of Indonesian New Guinea. In 2002 the current name was adopted and in 2003 West Papua province was created from western parts of Papua province. The Asmat are an ethnic group of New Guinea, residing in the Papua province of Indonesia. The Asmat inhabit a region on the island's southwestern coast bordering the Arafura Sea, with lands totaling approximately 18,000 km² (7,336 mi²) and consisting of mangrove, tidal swamp, freshwater swamp, and lowland rainforest. The land of Asmat is located both within and adjacent to Lorentz National Park and World Heritage Site, the largest protected area in the Asia-Pacific region. The total Asmat population is estimated to be around 50,000 as of 1996. The term "Asmat" is used to refer both to the people and the region they inhabit. The Asmat have one of the most well-known woodcarving traditions in the Pacific, and their art is sought by collectors worldwide. Please note: relics of this age should have superficial imperfections, a sure sign that this relic was used and authentic, with the exception of imperial royal objects that were stored in china cabinets for years and never used, these imperfection do not detract but add character, one can only imagine all the families this relic has visited, like in the movie, "The Red Violin".

One can imagine all the lives this piece has touched, like in the movie: "The Red Violin". The Perfect gift for any occasion. For The Collector and art lover Who Has Everything.

Collecting tribal art is my passion, I have been collecting tribal art and antiques for well over 25 years, my collecting trips have taken me to many distant countries, the artifacts of interest are authentic tribal and ethnographic implements used in divination and healing. My travels have taken me to out of way places where there are no cars or hotels, some of the remote places are only reachable by foot , so I often take long treks into the bush to find some of these rare pieces , but mostly its a question of being in the right place at the right time , my collection consists of ethnographic material from animist tribal peoples of Africa Asia and south East Asia.
