AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Offering here a beautiful and intriguing animal figure, most probably representing a mythical or symbolic creature. The figure has a strong sculptural appearance and an appealing old patina. A hole in the underside suggests that it may originally have served as a cover or stopper for a traditional medicine container. Its exact function and symbolism are not known, so this attribution should be regarded as probable rather than certain.
Will be packed with care, we send worldwide

Seller's Story
my wife Paula van den Berg and I, Koos Tuber, both anthropologists, traveling a lot through Papua New Guinea and West Papua (formerly Irian Jaya), Solomon Islands and Vanuatu (formerly New Hebrides). We love local tribal arts, we collected thousands and thousands of artifacts, all authentic, sometimes old, sometimes more recently but mainly used objects in local traditional cultures. We are happy to give more detailed information about the artifacts we sell here on Catawiki. Please feel free to contact us.
