"Sculpture, Yipwon, Primitive Art, Oceanic Art, Tribal Art, Papua New Guinea"
Incredible sculpture called Yipwon, presented and sold on a metalic base. The Yipwon is one of the most stylized and symbolic item in the Sepik River area. These sculptures are placed in the Haus Tambaran (men's house) and are closely linked to the warrior world. Its other name, "wanleg" (from English "one leg") in English pidgin designates all the figures of this style that one meets in the region of the Korewori river. Traces and lack of use.
