Papua New Guinea Mei Mask Latmul Tribe Sepik River

This is a wonderful Old Carved Wood Mei Mask that comes from the Iatmul People of the Middle Sepik River Region in Papua New Guinea. These masks are not face masks, but are tied to a conical structure made of plaited fibers which covers the head and shoulders of a dancer.

While similar in shape, the style and decoration of the masks vary by village throughout the Sepik River region. This Mei mask would be a lovely addition to your home or collection. Shows Natural Age and Wear.
