<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 267369, member: 2844&quot;]Reproduction is a difficult concept in ethnographic art. I don&#039;t know what a reproduction of these items would be. I can only say these art forms evolve, just like any art form. Even more so after contact with outsiders, new tools, new materials. And then there are fakes, which are just that, fake.</p><p>The Sepik food hook is genuine. The style is&nbsp; like the Sepik art my parents used to have, made ca 1970. It is difficult to find antique Papua art. This is a very collectible piece, even though the style had already become more elaborate through the use of modern (hand)tools and demand from trade.</p><p>[USER=301]@komokwa[/USER] will know more about the NW Coast pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
