Andrew and guides on a buying trip to Maramba Village, Papua New Guinea
Our carvings are carried to the Sepik River in small dugout canoes or by porters. Once on the main river, the artifacts are crated for protection then transported downstream on a larger, double-hulled canoe. This photograph was taken while returning from a relatively unsuccessful trip to Maramba village; we were able to acquire only eight small carvings. The woman in the canoe passing to the left is transporting fish traps.
