Information about the language not available
Jewellery
A »Kapkap« ornamental shell disk, comprising two parts, which were originally separate. The provenance of the jewellery is therefore unclear, its style of manufacture would indicate the Admiralty Islands. Kapkaps were a symbol of a man's elevated position, they could also be worn in the hair or close to the neck.
