This is a beautiful Carved and Painted Ancestor Head with Cowrie Shells and Bamboo Flute that comes from the Kamanibit Village on the Sepik River Valley of Papua New Guinea. This kind of sacred flute is played, usually in pairs, during ceremonies and initiations in the villages. They are considered to be the voices of the clans' ancestor spirits.
