🪶 XXXXXX Feathers. One Currency Coil. 💰🌺 @BlueBoxAuction 

Our Oddity of the Day goes to this jaw-dropping Tevau red feather currency coil from the Solomon Islands, sold for $XXXXX at Blue Box Auctions. 👀

Crafted from an estimated XXXXXX scarlet honeyeater feathers, these vibrant coils weren’t just decorative—they were once used as dowries and high-status currency. Entire communities took part in their creation: feather gatherers, artisans, and spiritual makers. Sacred. Labor-intensive. Stunning.

💡 Fun Fact: This wasn’t just “money”—it was a cultural power symbol, often worth more than any coin or bill could be.

Proof that value is relative—and sometimes really fluffy.
