This is a carving of an ancestral spirit from the Sepik River in Papua New Guinea. The figure likely represents a powerful ancestral spirit called a "wan" or "waken", which is associated with specific clans and totems. These figures were traditionally kept in the men's ceremonial houses and assisted in hunting and warfare. The style is characteristic of the Sepik region, with large eyes and carved details. Some of these carvings are known as Yipwon figures, which are reduced to an almost two-dimensional form with hooks representing the ribs that protect the figure's soul.. Smaller damages: small chip at the top and a crack On the front of the base. Otherwise In the good condition as shows On the photos. Nothing hidden.
