<meta charset="UTF-8" />Wooden votive board from a ceremonial house in the Kwoma region in the Washkuk Mountains (Papua New Guinea). These boards, placed in the men's house, show drawings that are the abstract representation of ancestors or natural elements (totemic animals and plants). They are real artistic paintings whose symbols are a writing in their own right. Here a stylized face whose sculptures also evoke an animal (crab? insect?). Possibility of a base on request. Approx. 107 x 25 cm / €460 including shipping costs.
