Description

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

Small "yena" cult figure collected in the village of Nagri in Papua New Guinea (Nokuma ethnic group). The yena figure is associated with the first ceremony organized to celebrate the yam harvest (cycle of three ceremonies in all), a tuber sacred and venerated throughout Melanesia. This sculpture symbolizes the planting period and evokes the tuber and the digging stick used to transplant it. These traditions are still strong in the Washkuk Mountains region. This piece in wood and natural pigments is sold mounted on a base. 57x 14 cm / €250 base and shipping included.
