War shield (Phantom connection) - Dolina Wahgi - Papua Nowa Gwinea
Originates from fringes of the mountains between Wahgi Valley and Upper Sepik From the 1980s – 1990s the Phantom re-emerged on battle shields during a renewed period of inter-tribal fighting in parts of the Papua New Guinea highlands. For a brief period, the Wahgi people of the Western Highlands Province revived and re-painted old battle shields with new designs that transformed the shields into communicative forms. This expanded design repertoire included numbers, text, appropriated logos as well as representations of ‘good guys’ such as Superman and the Phantom. By incorporating the image of the Phantom on a shield, warriors hoped to capture some his symbolic power and incite fear amongst their opponents. Some shield designs also incorporated text such as, ‘man i no save dai’ which translates approximately as ‘a man who can’t be killed’ in an attempt to harness his immortality.
