Description

Skulls were the main trading currency used by Torres Strait Islander people with their Papua New Guinean neighbours.
These trading skulls were acquired in battle and though raiding parties to other islands and Australian mainland.
Longboats were the main trade items needed on islands where tall trees did not grow.
Not all skulls were traded, some were used in ceremonies and rituals.
