Amazing papuan sculpture called "Yipwon" collected in the village of Sevenbuck in Papua New Guinea. The Yipwon is one of the most stylized and symbolic objects of the Sepik River region. It represents a two-dimensional figure with ribs, its heart located in the central part and the head. Large specimens like this one are placed in the Haus Tambaran (house of men) and are closely related to the warrior world. Its other name, wanleg (from the English "one leg") in pidgin English refers to all the figures of this style found in the Korewori river region. Wooden specimen eroded by time and use. Very nice piece...
