The first is a Karahut (c. 1970-90), when worn as a mouthguard it was a sign of war, meant to frighten away enemies, yet it could also be worn as a necklace to signify peace in ceremonies. The second item is a headdress (c. 1970-90) that would commonly accompany the Karahut in ceremonial dances.  The duality of uses for these pieces is a testament to the shifting relations between the local tribes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCustom framing displays available, contact us for a quote. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Framed Piece Approx. 15” x 12” x 2”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Report:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCosmetic flaws to the exterior such as scruff, scratches, and dings.\u003c\/span\u003e For more information regarding the condition of this item please contact us directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe welcome all reasonable offers!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe will also consider requests for dedications and autographs from the “Pawn Stars,” just let us know in your message when you press “\u003cstrong\u003eMake an Offer\u003c\/strong\u003e”!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor any questions regarding this listing or help with orders chat with us, email us at \u003ca href=\"mailto:orders@gspawn.com\"\u003eorders@gspawn.com\u003c\/a\u003e, or call 702-272-0006.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe appreciate your business and look forward to helping you bring home a piece of history!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gold \u0026 Silver Pawn Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44102808469644,"sku":"GOS228853","price":700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3543\/0796\/files\/GOS228853PapuaNewGuineaCeremonialWear_3.png?v=1772077736","url":"https:\/\/gspawn.com\/products\/papua-new-guinea-ceremonial-wear","provider":"Gold \u0026 Silver Pawn Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
