Cult figure called "Yena" collected in the Upper Sepik region of Papua New Guinea among the Nokuma. The Yena figures are linked to the cult of the yam. They are arranged above a large pile of tubers during the first ceremony (there are 3 in all) organized at harvest time, the purpose of which is to thank the ancestors for this sacred gift and to ensure a good harvest the following year. The Yena figures symbolize the planting period and evoke the digging stick used when transplanting the yam plan into the ground. Raw wood furrowed by time. Figure sold with base. Traces and lack of use.
