- Abstract
The article reports on the question about some of the artifacts which seem to be the national cultural property of Papua New Guinea displayed at the exhibition of South Pacific artefacts at the de Young Museum, new fine-arts museums in San Francisco, California. About 400 specimens from Papua New Guinea, with adorned human skulls from the days of head-hunting, masks and shields portraying tribal spirits and life-size carvings steeped in fertility rates are included in the display.
