Description

Small painted bark collected in the Washkuk Mountains region of Papua New Guinea. Kwoma ethnic group. These paintings on sago palm bark decorate the internal faces of roofs as well as the pediments of ceremonial houses and represent in an abstract or figurative way the ancestors or beliefs of the clans. Assembled together, they thus cover the ceilings or pediments of these large prestigious huts. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York presents in its permanent collection the complete reconstruction of a hut roof thus decorated with painted bark of this type. Piece of sago palm bark, natural pigments and paint. Traces of use. Sold with a base. Approx. 35 x 20 cm / 160€ base and free shipping.
