Good to see these, Angelo! An example also appears in my wife Truus's *Ethnic Jewellery and Adornment*, p. 113, fig. 176. Caption: "Chest ornament of bamboo strips ("omak"), indicating a man's status as a result of his largesse to others. PNG, Highlands, mid 20th c. H (without string) 24.5 cm, W 7.5 cm. Bamboo strips, string".
