The Bongo are an ethnic group living in South Sudan, mostly in the Tonj District. They speak the Bongo language, one of the Bongo-Baka languages.

Subsistence farming is the primary source of food, though money is obtained by working in forestry, building, selling honey, and other various means.

Monumental Oceanic Asmat People Carved Painted Wooden War Shield

Located in Point Richmond, CA
The price is for an individual currency and includes the custom made stand.

The aging of the iron has further added to the texture and attractiveness of the design.
