Wooden sculpture called "Yipwon", presented and sold mounted on a base, collected in the Korewori River region of Papua New Guinea. The Yipwon is one of the most stylized and symbolic objects of the Sepik River region. These sculptures are placed in the Haus Tambaran (house of men) and are closely linked to the warrior world. Its other name, wanleg (from the English "one leg") in pidgin English designates all the figures in this style found in the Korewori river region. Lacks and traces of use. Approx. 89 x 7 x 8 cm / 340€ including base and shipping.
