PUBLICATIONS: 2005 - "The image of the mwai mask is combined with a tree kangaroo, morop, above, and a boar, nembren, below. A very closely related object in the Museum für Völkerkunde, Hamburg (9054-1), was collected in 1909 in "Kambrium Village" by F.E. Hellwig on the Hamburg South Seas Expedition. Both have the mwai image, which derives from the Iatmul people upstream in teh middle Sepik (see pl. 168). Other related objects in the Museum für Völkerkunde, Berlin, were collected in Kambaramba (Kumbragrumbra) village on the Kaiserin-Augusta River Expedition in 1912-14."
