  • The Skin Pik design is local to Goroka: when women came together to eat, those with higher status were treated to finer parts of the pig, the women of lower status were left to wait. The design is symbolic of independence and empowerment.

  • This Bilum is handwoven from acrylic and wool yarn as well as upcycled knitwear using traditional weaving techniques.

  • Small size body and medium strap length.

  • Adornments sold separately.

    This Bilum was lovingly woven by Barbara Pagasa. Barbara lives with her husband Michael in Mount Hagen in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea. She is a wonderful ambassador and aggregator of Among Equals and also a much-loved group leader and dedicated program coordinator at House Of Hope, a refuge she established for women requiring healthcare. Barbara takes these women in with tremendous compassion, warmth and kindness.
