Souvenirs and handcraft Papua New Guinea

 Shopping

Things to take home: essentially tribal handicraft. You will find, then, beautiful pottery, basketry as well as weapons (bows and arrows, harpoons, spears, axes, decorated shields), musical instruments and masks all over the Sepik valley and in the Highlands. Trobriand island's and New Ireland's handicraft is also very beautiful. The prices of the beautiful objects are often very high. Thus, it is best to limit your purchases to one beautiful piece, rather than buying a large quantity of poor quality souvenirs. It is prohibited to export ancient objects however, you should therefore get the necessary information before the purchase. People don't usually haggle. Shops are usually open from 9 am to 5 pm, from Monday to Friday and from 9 am to 12 pm on Saturdays.
