SPIRIT MASK FROM THE SEPIK REGION OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA. Unusual spirit mask from the Sepik.

Carved wood with clay, ornamented with many toea shells and a bone nose septum. Painted with black charcoal with red and yellow ochre.

Collected in the mid Sepik region in 1988. Signs of age and in very good condition. Most items were collected by ourselves while we were living and working in Papua New Guinea in the 1980's. We are now downsizing from our large old farmhouse to something more manageable for our age. Some carvings have signs of wear and tear due to age.

Some have cracking which occurs as a result of taking items from the tropics to a colder, drier environment. Please take a look at our other items from Africa, India, Papua New Guinea, Irian Jaya, Bali, and Burma.
