  • Medium size body and medium strap length.
  • Adornments sold separately.

    This Bilum was lovingly woven by Salome Park. Salome is married with five children. Her eldest daughter, Rachel, 15, has started to learn the craft from her mother after school. Salome's husband is currently setting up a nature park for tourists in Goroka, meanwhile Salome weaves whenever she can to support the family's income.
