Particularly aesthetic painted bark, collected in the Washkuk Mountains region of Papua New Guinea. These paintings on sago palm bark decorate the inner sides of roofs as well as the pediments of ceremonial houses, and represent in abstract or figurative form the ancestors or beliefs of the clans.

In its permanent collection, New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art features a complete reconstruction of a hut roof decorated with painted bark of this type... Piece of sago bark and natural pigments. Traces of use. Approx. 112 x 35 cm / 220€ shipping included.
