    Canoe Prow New Guinea Sepik River Tribe 18 Inches Approximately 70 Years Old
    Hand carved by the Sortmeri Jungle Tribe of Papua New Guinea from the front of a dug out canoe.  The tribe lives along the Sepik River.  The tribes of the New Guinea Jungle revere the crocodile and as such carve them on the front of their dugout canoes.  This was sawn off from one such canoe.  Acquired in Cairns, Queensland Australia in November 1987.  Brought there by a missionary who acquired a few items.  Believed to be about 70 years old.  Pictures describe this item as this is the actual item you will receive.
