  • 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.

  • Medium size body and short strap length.


    41cm wide

    This Bilum was lovingly woven by Tama Jackson. Tama lives with her husband and son in Fanuifa, a small village in Goroka. Tama uses the income she earns from Bilum to support her family and provide schooling for her son. Her signature pattern is the Kundu design woven in vibrant hues.
