The wide range of materials used to create the Buk (mask) of the Torres Strait has been interpreted as evidence of the islanders' far-reaching trade networks

C preference for local natural resources

Explanation:

The Buk (mask) aged middle to late 19th century C.E., was located in Australia, Mabuiag Island, Queensland, Torres Strait, which is between Australia and Papua New Guinea with many small mostly uninhabited islands around. Archaeological excavations show people´s  arrival at  Mabuiag islands around 7,300 years ago, being very dependent on ocean´s products to survival.

Few surviving pieces, made out of local resources materials such as turtle shell, wood, fiber, cassowary feathers, resin and paint, tell us feathers were a throughoutly artistic material used in Oceania , but  turtle shells masks were Torres Strait´s people hand-crafted and unique hallmark to be used during assorted ceremonies.
