From Maramba village, Papua New Guinea PNG



Rare old Unique Polychrome Ancestral Wood Spirit Mask with long nose, Maramba village, Papua New Guinea PNG

Item 13A14 in our inventory

Spirit masks represent ancestors, a protective spirit kept in the men's house.

Carved from one solid piece of native wood and colored with natural pigments and raffia decorations

(Seen here on all the photos except the ones of natives)

Such masks were most important as they were oracles consulted for advice in times of sickness, disease and wars by the clan or tribe.

Measures: 25"  x 8"  x 5"   

Solid wood, with some lime pigment motifs
