Large cult figure known as "Yena" collected in the village of Amaki in Papua New Guinea. Nokuma people. Yena figures are linked to the cult of yams. They are placed above a large pile of tubers during the first ceremony (there are 3 in all) organized at harvest time, to thank the ancestors for this sacred gift and ensure a good harvest the following year. The Yena figures symbolize the period when yams are planted in the ground. Wood and traces of pigment. Exceptional piece sold with a base. Approx. 106 x 24 x 18 cm / €1,600 including base. Free shipping to France.
