Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Particularly aesthetic painted bark, collected in the Washkuk Mountains region of Papua New Guinea. These paintings on sago palm bark decorate the inner roofs and the pediments of ceremonial houses and represent clan ancestors or beliefs in an abstract or figurative manner. Assembled together, they line the ceilings of these large, prestigious huts. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York presents in its permanent collection a complete reconstruction of a hut roof decorated with this type of painted bark... The designs here evoke taro leaves. Pieces of sago palm bark and natural pigments. Traces of use. Approx. 118 x 40 cm / €250 including shipping.
