ASMAT NECKLACE WITH HUMAN JAW

These necklaces would be machined after a Papua New Guinea man hunt from the Asmat tribe. The population of the Asmat wiere ferocious cannibals, and every soldiers, after having killed his opponent, would deprive him of his jaw. The jaw bone would then be decorated and gifted to his wife. This very important artefact would then become the necklace to wear at every ceremony or important event. The Lot can be viewed by reservation in London.
