2 agos 1900 anni - Malagan Display and Mask

Descrizione:

Wood, pigment, fiber and shell
Papua New Guinea
This figure was made for malangan, a cycle of rituals of the people of the north coast of New Ireland, an island in Papua New Guinea. Malangan express many complex religious and philosophical ideas. They are principally concerned with honoring and dismissing the dead, but they also act as affirmation of the identity of clan groups, and negotiate the transmission of rights to land.
