BILAS
Bilas is the PNG word for traditional dress.
This page displays a variety of accessories worn as traditional dress both on a
daily basis in the village and on special occasions like "sing sings"
and bride price ceremonies.
Some of the
items on this page are "used" and others are newly crafted.
As with
other pages on our website, the pictures on this page are not pictures of
actual items available. They are examples. In most cases we can supply items
which are very similar.
