About the Item

This striking black stone disc originates from Papua, Indonesia, and is deeply rooted in tribal traditions as a ritual object once used like currency in social ceremonies. Carved from dense black stone, its perfect circular form and central hole reflect its ritual use, carried between two people by a pole to mark significant events. The polished stone surface subtly captures light, lending the piece a sculptural elegance. Mounted on a matte black metal base, this disc is ready to display immediately—no assembly required. Made with ancestral techniques, this artwork is unsigned, honoring Papua’s collective artistry. In pristine condition, it bridges tradition and modern minimalism, serving as a powerful focal point in any interior setting. Contact us before ordering to confirm product availability.
