THE TEETH LOOK LIKE PIG TUSKS FROM SMALL PIGS. THEY USE TEETH FOR JEWELRY IN NEW GUINEA BUT IT MOSTLY SEEMS TO BE DOG TEETH AND I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING ANY BEAD WORK SO NAGA DOES SEEM TO BE MORE LIKELY. A INTERESTING ITEM.

Dog teeth or flying fox would be my guess by Colins cloth, the cloth and the bead work let me think Naga, both would be untypical for New Guinea.
