About us

Hi. I am Julie. I am out of action until Jan 2023. Moving home.
I have been collecting and trading Timorese Treasures in the field since 1990 when I won a prize for overseas travel in a pub in Darwin [true]. I had no idea at the time that I had stumbled upon an Aladdin's cave of authentic traditional tribal treasures and hand woven textiles. I have been returning annually ever since [well most years] and witnessed many changes across the last 3 decades.
My speciality is Timorese and Alorese artefact, handcraft carvings and ikat textiles.
Relatively unaffected by outside influences I am able to offer an incredible array of hand carved wood, bone, buffalo horn, coconut shell, and jungle gourd amongst other materials that come to hand in what is essentially a subsistence level existence.
Betel nut and its accessories still play an important role socially and culturally in Timor and we are treated the results.
I welcome inquiries and get great pleasure sharing information.

    Item unavailable, although seller provided a replacement item which was received today with many thanks, just in time for a birthday gift on Sunday. Thanks again to the seller for the emails and updates following postage.

    As advertised, prompt. Arrived with sections covered in old insect excrement? eggs? though, which was a bit gross..

    My apologies. That was remiss of me not to have cleaned her up better for you. Thank you for your feedback
