Full figures are common, usually male. Their raunwara is rich in birdlife. Ron guided a birding tour group in the 1970's that identified over 70 different species in one day. The far end of the baret joins with the Chambri Lakes during high water. Shells are sold in the Angoram market and also in the Wewak markets.
Common ones are cowrie and geri-geri.
The eyes in this hook are large cut shell disks which are harder to get, but typical of Kandangai figures. Kandangai Headhunter Men use gourd lime containers to hold the powdered lime chewed with betel nut, plus a long stick to get the lime out of the gourd. The decorated gourd and stick tell something about a man's status. In the 1970's, two men were still alive in Kandangai who remembered their head hunting days. One of the old warriors offered to sell his lime container to Ron.
