Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Beautiful patina of use for this so-called "mosquito" mask, referring to the mythical spirit called "Parak" or "Brag". The Parak spirit is linked to initiation ceremonies as well as hunting. He is supposed to help the hunter flush out game. The region of origin of this type of mask is located in the Mambe lands, but this typical form has nevertheless been found all along the northern coast of Papua New Guinea, from the mouth of the Sepik to the west, in the eastern regions of Kairiru Island. Here a slit drum (symbol of the clan bond) carved in the upper part and an opossum in the lower part. Wood and natural pigments. Sold with a presentation base. Approx. 60 x 11 x 12 cm / €850 base and shipping included.
