Yam mask collected in the village of Maprik in Papua New Guinea. Yam masks are used to disguise the most beautiful yams selected at harvest time. This basketwork mask represents the head of the yam, a very symbolic way of proving that these sacred tubers do indeed have a soul... Very finely braided rush and natural pigments. Sold with a presentation base. 40 x 38 cm / €360 base and shipping costs included.
