http://collections.aucklandmuseum.com/ontology/core/researcherComments Made in the late twentieth century, this dafe maintains all the features of old traditional forms. A small frigate bird motif carved in turtle shell is attached to the polished gold lip pearl shell crescent, which is worn suspended around a man’s neck by the cord of shell money discs. This cord of shell money was probably made at Auki, a small island off the south-west coast of Malaita, which has long been the centre of currency making by women who cut, drill and polish the red Spondylus shells. (Pacific Jewellery and Adornment by Roger Neich and Pandora Fulimalo Pereira, 2004)
