DescriptionFor Perth includes four objects made of papier-mâché, painted red, yellow, orange, and black. The armlet is in the shape of a pyramid with a circular opening in the center of two of the surfaces, painted primarily in orange with black star-burst designs around the opening for the arm and yellow and orange star-burst patterns on the edges. The large and small “collars”, which can be worn on the neck, and are shaped like rams’ horns, have surfaces painted with yellow and black, and orange and black triangular patterns. The table-top piece is also reminiscent of two rams’ horns with the surfaces painted with orange and red and orange and red chevron patterns. Provenance
