"Votive Board, Sculpture, Oceanic Art, Tribal Art, Primitive Arts, Oceania"
Very beautiful votive board in hard wood collected in the village of Banguis in Papua New Guinea (Nokuma people) and coming from a ceremonial house. These boards, placed in the men's house, show drawings which are the abstract representation of ancestors or natural elements (animals and totemic plants, moon, sun, stars, etc.). These are real artistic paintings whose symbols are a writing in their own right... Wood. Traces of use. Sold mounted on a base. Free Shipping.
