Includes purchase tag from Reptile Gardens- the largest collection of New Guinea art in North America. This fabulous highly detailed ancestral spirit mask was hand carved by the natives using stone adzes. Drills and shark skin rasps in Mindimbit village out of local wood featuring a crocodile spirit theme- note crocodile head with eyes on top of mask as well as on the lower mask with a human and crocodile spirit blend face, stained black with soot, detail painted with dark red clay, decorated with cowrie snail shells; in this case, the eyes of the mask face and eyes of the crocodile faces- backside of the shells, and 6 hibiscus rope fibers tied the to the ears(3 each ear) CONDITION Crack in lower body of mask. See images 4, 6 and 10. Each piece of New Guinea folk art is entirely unique. Due to the primitive and rather crude nature of the carvings. The sculptures may exhibit cracks, may be missing shells or other adornments, may have areas of discolored or worn-off"paint" may appear"broken" or"unfinished" or"burned" when that is often simply the way that they are made, or the condition in which they were originally acquired by the collector. These so-called"flaws" however. Make them appealing because they are all hand made and as individual and primitive as the carvers who create them. Each carving is sold"as is.

Vintage New Guinea Sepik River Wood spirit figure, 1960's
This is a New Guinea wood figure from the Sepik river area of this remote Island that still has much of it's interior unexplored of all it's well known existence of new species of plant life.Insects& huge unknown forms of biology,a treasure chest of scientific and medical miracles, waiting to be saved& understood. Carved in my opinion in the 1960's or early 70's. The figure is quite typical of the older pieces brought back tourists to New Guinea. It was made with a distinct character that is only to be found from tribal carvers of N.G. It also has a tremendous amount of detail.The tools used. Art in it's purest form.Even if produced for overweight westerners,A stereo typical tourist with the camera hanging on a strap around the neck. The technique. Design is made in a traditional manner. After many years a carver.I ... morewould love to believe could be carved in complete darkness,or perhaps in a sort a halve asleep conscious? Please do not view me.Like I view these artisans with a condescending manner. Farthest thing from the truth and how truly I feel! In fact I am awestruck by every tribal art piece I come across from every region of the world.It brings me pure joy to see all of Mankind's Art works or crafts. A huge part of me that is envious of the cultural life.Without mobiles,fast-food,cars.and all the BS we call being civilized? Their closeness these peoples have with pure adulterated nature.More so,back 40 to 50 years ago, which is not very sharply photographed in my indoor shots,that do lack the sharpness of a better ability to set my camera to the lack of light inside a home under a tinted sunlight, The figure is male and stands 12" inches high or 30.5 cm high. The base is approx. 3"or 7 cm in diameter. There is a aged small very thin crack under above the left eye.Due to lack of the tropical humid climate approx, 1"1/4"or 4 cm thin line,and very tiny chip on the nose 1/3 cm 7/16th of a inch appears to be recent.

Sepik peoples create a variety of betel nut chewing accessories. The cup-like object seen here is a betel nut mortar, used by individuals who have lost their teeth to aid in chewing betel nut.

Some betel nut mortars, carried by male elders, served as marks of secular and religious authority.

Carved wood stylized face and two parrots, painted with earth pigments of yellow, red, white, and grey(some scuffing to pigments) bearing original cataloguing tag inscribed“Yam Bilas… East Sepik Province River Culture, Papua New Guinea, mid to early 20th century. Abelam Wooden Yam Masks. East Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea: The Abelam say that their yams were given to the them by Wapikan, along with rules for living properly. As long as they followed this path, the yams grew easily. However, they drifted away from Wapikan's ideals and he killed himself in despair. ... moreAfter that, the yams only grew with very hard work. The growing of yams and the year-long rituals associated with them form a main center of Abelam life. Yams are the most important food, so many different names are used to describe the varieties and stages of growing thems, just as the ocean-going Polynesians have many terms to describe the sea. At the harvest yam linings, the decorated long yams(dioscorea alata) represent the nggwal spirits who are affiliated with the ancestors of the Abelam. The Abelam are divided into the hill country, or northern Abelam, and the southern plains Abelam, or Wosera. The Abelam area was part of German New Guinea(Kaiser Wilhelmsland) from 1884 to 1914-1920 when Australia was given New Guinea as well as Papua under a United Nations' protectorate. Papua New Guinea gained independence in 1975. The early German administrators recognized and appointed village leaders. They gave them special hats and insignia which are still portrayed in some Abelam carvings; however, there was no significant contact with the outside world until the 1930s when gold was discovered. In 1937, the town of Maprik was founded by the Australians as a regional administrat
