AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Wooden figural amulet from Yapen Island, Geelvink Bay, now known as Cenderawasih Bay, West Papua. Used as a charm.
Carved from a single piece of wood, the figure features an elongated head, a prominent nose and angular facial details. Closely spaced horizontal grooves decorate the rounded upper part of the head. The compact body has bent arms indicated in relief and rests on a broad, rounded base.
The surface has a dark finish with areas of lighter exposed wood, particularly on the face and body. Visible wear, small surface irregularities and a split near the neck give the carving a distinctive appearance. Please examine the photograph for details of its condition.

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.
