Description

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

Large Papuan war shield collected in the highlands region of Papua New Guinea. Numerous traces of use and wear and impacts of arrows remained embedded throughout. Tribal drawings probably evoking a totemic reference of the clan of origin. Repainted many times to preserve its aura, the shield remains a very personal object that Papuans are reluctant to part with. Wood, fiber and red and white pigments. Shipping costs: France free / EU 100€ / USA 500€.
