Papua New Guinea Bird Wood Statue Sabut Myth Bird

This unique Old Mythical Carved and Painted Wood Subut Bird is from the Latmul Tribe, Yamok Village, Middle Sepik Region of Papua New Guinea. The men carve a Suburb bird from their creation story.

Subut is the good Spirit in the Creation Story. In the Latmul creation myths, a bird called Subut took a leading role by protecting a woman from being raped by a crocodile-man.

The woman laid two eggs which the Subut helped tend. The Subut statue is carved entirely from wood and is hand-painted using traditional paints. This was collected in the field, shows age and has discoloration.

A fabulous Subut Bird Statue with all the mythical stories of creation would be a wonderful addition to your home or your collection. 34.5 Inches Tall 3 Inches Wide 11.5 Inches Deep AT BACARA WE STAND BEHIND ALL OF OUR MERCHANDISE.
