Rare part of a Bamboo container – Korwar Culture, and a wooden betelnut spoon- Pom Village, Yapen Island, West Papua A unique and authentic bamboo container from the Korwar cultural area of Yapen Island, West Papua. This traditional part originates from Pom village, located in the Geelvink Bay (Cenderawasih Bay) region, an area renowned for its rich ancestral traditions and exceptional woodcarving heritage. The surface of the container is beautifully decorated with typical Korwar-style engravings, featuring traditional motifs connected to the spiritual world and ancestral beliefs of the Yapen people. Such engraved bamboo containers were not merely everyday objects but also reflected cultural identity, craftsmanship, and the importance of artistic expression within the community. The korwar spoon was used for bringing the components for betelnut chewing to the mouth Collected in the field, this remarkable piece represents the traditional material culture of Yapen Island and offers a rare insight into the artistic traditions of the Korwar people. A fine ethnographic object with strong provenance, appealing to collectors of Oceanic art and tribal artefacts.
