The Traders of Magellan Traders travel the globe to purchase various
quality products from Families and quality artisans. Our success
is built from the reputation of the traders with whom we work
and our widespread network of various Free Trade cmpanies around the world. For you, this means quality pieces
from such remote places in Indonesia, New Guinea, and
many parts of Africa, as well as the Mid east, India, the Orient,
Mexico and South America and the USA.

TRADERS means EXCELLENT TREASURES!

nor aged artificially. That is why we can make a money-back guarantee

RON
and CAROLYN
Ron
has traded with the tribal peoples of New Guinea since 1965. He
started when he lived in Australia and saw artifacts from Papua
New Guinea. Soon he was traveling by dugout canoe up the jungle
rivers like the Sepik and hiking along narrow bush tracks in the
Highland mountains. After various jobs with the Australian administration
and running the PNG government's artifact center, Village Arts,
Ron returned to the United States in 1978. He continued yearly
collecting trips with his artist wife, Carolyn. In 1988 they traveled
into Irian Jaya on the Indonesian side of the island of New Guinea.
They trekked in the Ballem Valley where the first white man only
arrived in 1938 and the local men still wear phallocrypts. They
explored south into the Asmat, where the villagers were headhunters
as recently as the 1950's and took canoes up the rivers into the
back jungles where some of the people still practice cannibalism.
