"Painted Bark, Kwoma Ethnic Group, Papua New Guinea, Primitive Arts, Oceanic Art, Tribal Art"

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...
