Nestled in the Prince Alexander Mountains live the Abelam people whose yearly ceremonial cycles revolve around the growth of their staple food crop, the yam. The Abelam believe that the mythological figure Wapikan taught them how to grow yams as well as how to live properly. I.e. he brought civilization to the Abelam. However. As time passed, the Abelam disregarded Wapikan’s teachings, and Wapikan eventually killed himself in despair. The yams. Which until then had grown easily, suddenly became much harder to cultivate due to the passing of their creator Wapikan. Thus. In order to ensure that the yams grow well and a large crop harvested, the Abelam perform various rituals throughout the year in tune with the growth/harvest cycle of the yam. During the growing season. Abelam men tend to the yams unceasingly while observing many food and sexual taboos and performing various rituals to ensure a plentiful harvest. When the harvest ceremony(yam festival) arrives. The men will gather in their best yams and place them in front of the Haus Tamabarun(men’s house) The best yam

VINTAGE TRIBAL YAM FESTIVAL WEAVED MASK PAPUA NEW GUINEA ABELAM NIGERIA GHANA
Here is a very nice Yam Mask in colors of Rust. Yellow, White and Black. After doing a little research I found that the Abelam people of the East Sepik Province of New Guinea, Ghana and Nigeria wire these masks to a yam or wear these masks at their annual Yam Festival. I acquired this mask from a lady that buys abandoned storage lockers. I believe this locker belonged to a collector of such items. I am listing some other items you may be interested in. I am not familar with these items, I don't know the age, etc. The mask is in great condition with the top being a little warped as I tried to show in the picture.probably common with these masks. Some masks are painted over several times as they are used year after year. This mask looks like it may have been painted other colors at one time but not sure. MEASUREMENTS: SEE PICTURES. Please ... moredon't hesitate to ask questions and also take a look at all the pictures as they are part of the description. Thanks for Looking! IMPORTANT.DON'T BID UNTIL READING! I prefer PAYPAL& payment made within 3 days after auction closes. I'm willing to work with you if you need longer.but I appreciate you letting me know. IF PAYING BY PAYPAL E-CHECK I WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL THE CHECK CLEARS. Please ask questions when in doubt.I try to describe the item the best I can but sometimes leave out information if I get in a hurry and have a lot of items to list.such as measurements. Etc. Because of non-payer's that ruin it for everybody I now request you pay within 3 days of auction ending. I do report non-payers to ebay. I don't like having to turn anybody into ebay for non-payment. But when somebody wins an auction and that person doesn't pay ebay takes their fees& the only way to get those fees refunded is to report it. I can mail items to Canada that weigh 4 pounds or less first class.other INTERNATIONAL BUYERS MUST ASK BEFORE BIDDING AND STATE THEIR LOCATION. Returns ONLY accepted if item is NOT described as stated. I will not be responsible for broken items

NEW GUINEA WOVEN FIBRE YAM MASK ABELAM
NEW GUINEA WOVEN FIBRE YAM MASK ABELAM SIZE: 23cm x 25cm Yam masks are an essential part of the elaborate yam harvest ceremonies and festivals put on by the Abelam people of the East Sepik Province. Rituals associated with yams form the basis of the spiritual life of the Abelam. The Abelam say that their yams were given to the them by Wapikan. A creation being, 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. After that, the yams only grew with very hard work. The growing of yams and the year-long rituals associated with them form the main centre of Abelam life. Yams are the most important food. So many different names are used to describe the varieties and stages of growing them, just as the ocean-going Polynesians ... morehave many terms to describe the sea. A mans status is judged by his ability to grow ceremonial long yams. These yams grow up to 9–12ft long. During the five month growing season. A man spends all of his time in the garden tending his best yams. The men observe food and sexual taboos and perform specific rituals to encourage the yams. At the yam harvest festival the best yams are prominently displayed. If a yam tuber grows straight it is considered a male and if it has protrusions it is considered female. These yams are named as ancestral spirits and decorated with attached woven basket masks which represent the ancestor. At this stage the yam is named and with the mask is considered as an individual personality. A missionary working the area in the 60’s told the story of where she couldn’t shine a torch at night onto the yams incase she woke them up! 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.
