    I agree, it isn't representative of any traditional style Papua New Guinea art that I've ever encountered!

    Guess I'd better change that to "it doesn't look like any tribal art I've ever seen!"

    Well, you were right..... it doesn't look like any PNG art you've seen.;)

    Maybe @2manybooks knows it.

    Not a traditional form I am familiar with either - from either New or old Guinea. I imagine some carvers are saying - "let's see if they will buy this!"
