"Yena" cult figure collected in the village of Mino in Papua New Guinea. The yena figure is associated with the first ceremony organized to celebrate the yam harvest (cycle of three ceremonies in all), a tuber sacred and venerated throughout Melanesia. This sculpture symbolizes the planting period and evokes the tuber and the digging stick used to transplant it. These traditions are still strong in the Moints Washkuk region. Wooden and pigmented piece sold with a presentation base. Approx. 54 x 15 x 10 cm 380€ including base and shipping.
