Great patina of use for this pirogue bow in the shape of a crocodile head collected on the banks of the Sépik River in Papua New Guinea. Today, the pirogue remains the most common means of locomotion in the Sépik river valley. Most of the pirogues used in the Lower and Middle Sepik regions have a carved bow representing the head of a crocodile, a feared and revered animal. Leather-look wood with traces of use. Sold mounted on base. Approx. 44 x 24 cm / 360€ including base and shipping.
