This object is part of a collection (2018.3-2018.38) made by Sergio Jarillo de la Torre between November 2008-June 2010 in the Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea. He was awarded a Crowther-Beynon Fund grant from MAA in 2008 to collect pieces for the museum. The collection was gathered during fieldwork leading to a Doctoral Degree in Social Anthropology at the University of Cambridge.
