Please look closely at all the photos BELOW
as they are an important part of the description and you are purchasing what is pictured.
At offer is an Extremely Rare 19th Century Papuan Gulf - New Guinea Bark Belt. It was purportedly a museum piece brought back to the United States by a WWII Navy Vet who was stationed in the South Pacific.   It is highly decorated, approximately  3 1/2" tall and 8" across the outside coil.  There is, what I have been advised is, a Collection Number of 1858 printed on the belt that is clearly shown in the photos.  The belt broke at some time in history and there is some cracking and damage to the rims.  Bark Belts of this age are very rarely offered for sale.
INTERNATIONAL bidders welcome but must pay the additional shipping for International Priority Mail.
