A New Guinea Highlands stone mortar

New Guinea Highlands stone mortar 25.5 cm. diam.
Provenance: Stan Moriarty, Sydney

They are believed by their finders to possess powerful magic properties and have been incorporated into their ritual life, clear signs of use and wear. Ashen colouring and remnants of coloured ochre.
