2 Tribal Gourds Phallocrypt Woven Sepik & Yali Tribe Big Cache Sex Papua PH16
Special Value for 2 pieces: PH16. One collected in Papua New Guinea along the Sepik river and the other collected in a remote region of Irian Jaya. 2 for 139.99 authentic original traditional. Penis covers, cache sex, seen on most of the photos. They are respectively 13" and 13" long, OVER 1 FOOT. a) the first gourd. Very large and ornate, with a hand woven netting, a decorative sheath covering the gourd itself(created with hand twisted bark twine adorned with hand painted geometric motifs obtained from natural pigments) and with tassels of seed beads and nuts dangling for effect, was worn during initiations and ceremonies in the Sepik region of Papua New Guinea, Kamindabit village, Iatmul tribe, over 1 foot long and seen worn on photo 4. b) the second gourd is a slimmer one from the remote Baliem valley Yali tribe. Irian Jaya. ... moreover 1 foot long, rare and not easy to collect. They are grown to this elongated size with the help of weights, and you can see them worn on some of the photos. This is an original Koteka from the lowland tribes collected on the premises& grown tediously to reach a good length by careful daily tending and pulling with weights. As seen on National Geographic. The Yali gourd is an especially rare collector item. I have never seen it available on the internet or anywhere else as the region is very remote and they are hard to come by as collecting them takes great efforts and costs. We have to trekk there and this is not an easy trip plus we have only backpacks to bring them back so the amount we can bring back is limited each time. Both gourds are seen on most of the photos: additional photos show other types of cache sex and some people wearing them. I have never seen Yali ones selling on the internet as you have to go so far inland to collect. On foot, in remote hard to access places, as a result they are very rare. About theYali: The lowland Yali wear long gourds(but without the loop skirt. Read about it below) They also live in great isolation as do the mountain tribes and h

Vintage Antique PAPUA NEW GUINEA Tribal Native SEPIK MASK Hand Carved Wood ART
This native mask has a great look and lots of character. Original paint is still in place although it has rubbed off and faded in spots a little bit through the years. From looking at pictures I am pretty sure this is a Sepik River mask from Papua New Guinea. But at the same time I am not 100% sure as I picked this piece up at a higher end eclectic estate sale where there was a wide variety of pieces. I do not see any cracks or damage, besides the normal age related wear. The mask is made of wood, and has shells for eyes. Long pointed hook nose is still in good shape considering that it gets pretty thin towards the bottom. I cannot pinpoint an age on this piece, but judging from the way the original paint looks, it is pretty old. Please ask questions before buying and thanks for looking! 22" long. 6" wide PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY ... moreOTHER ITEMS FOR SALE! Shipping And Payment Please send payment through PayPal within 3 days. If you need more time please let me know and I can work with you.

Such as this panel above, usually were grouped as a display which is part of the initiation rights known as the Ulke or Kutagwa, according to the region. During the initiation, artists arrange elaborate compositions of carved, painted or plaited figures or painted bark panel, sometimes decorated with shell rings, feathers, flowers, and leaves, and placed in the ceremonial house. No explanation is given to the initiates, for the aim of these rituals is to show them the secrets rather than to verbalize a meaning. The Abelam tribe of Papua New Guinea number about 30.000 and live in the Southern foothills of the Prince Alexander mountains to the North of the Sepik river. They live in large villages of 300 to 800 in population and have a vigorous art. As in most New Guinea Societies. All art among the Abelam is basically Cult Art and can only be displayed in the context of the ceremonials of the Tambaran cult. Decorative Art, of course, exists, but its motifs are entirely drawn from the Tambaran cult and it carries with it overtones of status from that cult. The Tambanan cult shares its basic features with such cults throughout New Guinea. In essence. It is a

Ancient Ramu Sepik River Mask Papua New Guinea ex Billy Jamieson coll Old
Up for offer is what looks to be an absolutely ancient mask from Papua New Guinea. I think(think) Sepik thru Ramu River(s) region. This came from the estate of William(Billy) Jamieson as it was purchased from an auction featuring a lifetime of his collecting, in Toronto, over a year ago. Old& dry almost"puffed" patina with what looks to be worm holes and clear signs of use and age. I am open to any suggestions out there as to specific origins as I've seen similar masks from the Ramu region and Sepik designs but that nose is most unique! The head looks to have an outstretched bird(to me, it looks like a bird) on the forehead while I'm not sure if the eye-inserts are glass or porcelain, obviously acquired thru European trade. The nose is pierced which I understand is a clear sign of lineage while the whole mask just feels ... morelike it has a"presence" The ear and side-holes would've had attachments, now long gone. 16"H x 6"W x 4-1/4"D. Shipping will be $30-120 depending on final destination, with Australia and Asia being at the higher cost-point due to weight of the custom iron stand.

Old Marshall islds(?) QLTY container w lizard carving (no Fiji, Hawai, Sepik)
Proud to present for sale this very nice and good old wood container with a lovely carved lizard. I have been searching many museumcollections etc but the only similar bowls(without carving) are those offered on ebay a year or so ago described as being collected in the Marshall islands. As the bowl is more ampulshaped and deeper than most New Guineabowls and has these two knobs on either side. The inside of the bowl in the deeper part shows remains of a white residue.

Roof Finial Palembei Iatmul Sepik Carving Sculpture Woman Totem Statue 50" 31A4
WE WILL SHIP BUT I PREFER LOCAL PICK UP. You are buying a rare totem. A unique hand carved detailed sculpture from the Sepik region of Papua New Guinea representing a rendition of mystical symbolic mythological tales and seen on all the pictures, and which story is explained below in red. It was collected in the field along the Sepik River in PNG, in Palembei village. Tall very detailed piece: 50" tall x 6" wide Number 3 and 31A4 in our inventory This figure was kept in the men’s spirit house(called Haus Tambaran or Gaigo) It works as a magical shield together with other figures in the Gaigo. Generally protecting from bad magic worked against the village by marauding demons(Maselei) or magic generated by enemy sorcerers(Sanguma) The figure represents a mythological woman(Kanda) wearing a wedding veil representing a Brahimney kite ... morecalled Mamanarliger or Kanganarn. On her back here. You see the kite which transforms into a eel towards the bottom of the statue and her feet are held by fish that will help her cross the river without drowning nor being attacked by a crocodile. The story from where some of these characters are drawn often refers to secret tales only known by the tribal elders. The figure was hand carved out of wood. All eyes of woman and animals are Nassa shells incrusted into the hand carving. Colors are natural pigments obtained from nature such as white lime from shells, charcoal etc. In Palembei village. On the middle Sepik river, Papua New Guinea, outstanding master carvers, whose work appear in Art Exhibitions around the world, created beautiful slim polychrome statues inspired by their spiritual beliefs and traditional tales. While firmly based in tradition, these contemporary works abound with both innovation and individual expression. Among the finest traditional art forms of the Sepik region are the fine varied sculptures kept in the men's ceremonial house. Such figures are imbibed with the magic to protect the village from bad magic worked against it by enemy sorcerers(Samguma)
