Papua New Guinea Statue Wood Abelam Ancestor Statue

This is a Beautiful Papua New Guinea Wood Abelam Ancestor Statue by the Abelam people of Papua New Guinea. Abelam art follows traditional ideals, each man's pieces may be unique and are his creation and interpretation of Ablelam spiritual power.

All initiated men are expected to carve with the more experienced men supervising the work, or a man may pay a better carver to carve for him. The best carvers are recognized as being more spiritually powerful. Carvings are seen as temporary and are often discarded after use, as the carvers know they can always create more.

Some carvings are considered too powerful to keep after the ceremony is over and are carried away a safe distance from the village and left in the jungle. This would be a great addition to your collection or home.
