<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 267346, member: 2844&quot;]Wow, that house is a treasure trove.</p><p>The dagger is a NW Coast whale killer dagger, Komo will know which nation. The eyes are inlaid with abalone. Paua is a specific species of black abalone, found in New Zealand, the shell has a more intense colour than this abalone.</p><p>The first totempole is too much covered with mildew for me to recognize, I like the bird though. I can&#039;t see the figure at the bottom, looks like something with crab claws.</p><p>The one behind it is not a totem pole, but a very elaborate food hook from Papua New Guinea, possibly Iatmul or another tribe from the Sepik River area. The shells are cowri shells.</p><p>The pole with the long beak would have been part of a wall of a house, I think, but again, Komo will know more about it.</p><p>The spears are harpoons.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
