Jungle Outpost
Featuring the tribal arts and crafts of native cultures from around the world - Huichol beadwork, tagua nut carvings, dragons, Tibetan singing bowls, and tribal jewelry – we are especially noted for our collection of Papua New Guinean art (we house the largest selection of PNG tribal art for sale in North America).
Collecting tribal art from New Guinea is a family tradition, dating back to the 1960’s when Reptile Gardens' globe-trotting founder, Earl Brockelsby first visited the island. Today, Earl’s nephew, Joe Maierhauser continues to uphold this family legacy by collecting the tribal art of this region.
