Mindimbit Village Figure - East Sepik Province PNG
This is a nice early Mindimbit Village Figure from the East Sepik Province Papua New Guinea. Mindimbit figures and masks are notable for the use of finely detailed chip carving accentuated with red clay and white lime paint. The designs are similar to the ones painted on participants in initiations and other ceremonies. These figures are carved to be placed at home and ward off evil spirits, so to give returning Ancestral spirits a place to Dwell. This piece has a lot of age to it. It was bought by our vendor over 20 years ago from a Cairns Oceanic and tribal Art Gallery. It cost a fortune.
It measures 67cm high
