Imposing and exceptional Minja-type figure collected in the Amaki region (Nokuma ethnic group) in Papua New Guinea. The Minja figure represents a water spirit and is synonymous with fertility. This figure, which symbolizes the period of growth of the yam in the earth, is used to celebrate the harvest of these sacred tubers during a second ceremony in a cycle of three. Dense wood and natural pigments. Traces and lack of use. Sold with a presentation base. Approx. 191 x 48 cm / €2600 base and shipping included for France / €100 for EU / €500 for USA.
