"Double Bark Painted, Tribal Art, Oceanic Art, Painting, Oceania, Papua New Guinea"
Particularly aesthetic painted double bark, collected in the Kwoma area in Papua New Guinea. These paintings on sago palm bark decorate the internal surfaces of the roofs as well as the pediments of the ceremonial houses and represent in an abstract or figurative way the ancestors or the beliefs of the clans. Assembled to each other, they line the ceilings 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 decorated with this type of painted bark... Piece of sago palm bark and natural pigments. Traces of use. Shipping fee included.
