[Not specifically aimed at any recommendation by Jens or any other forumite:]
Just a word of caution that "highly skilled" will probably have to be qualified with culture/region/period of interest since ethnographic pieces are such a vast field of study.
Someone highly skilled at restoring e. g. Japanese swords, may not make the culturally correct/suitable choices when doing detailed work on pieces from many other cultures! There are certainly a few broadly educated and capable folks out there (including on this forum) but I suggest to discuss any project with several people specialising in a given culture *before* embarking on any restoration/repair/etc., especially anything that can't be fully undone.
Regards,
Kai
