Imposante planche de culte provenant d'une maison de cérémonie. Ces planches, placées dans la maison des hommes, montrent de très vieux dessins qui sont la représentation abstraite d'éléments naturels animaux et plantes totémiques, lune, soleil, étoiles, points d'eau etc. Ce sont de véritables tableaux artistiques dont les symboles sont une écriture à part entière...

Bois, terres et argiles colorés. Big spirit board collected in Biwat village in Papua New Guinea. Those boards are interesting as they show very old patterns that refers to natural elements totemic animals, plants, moon, sun, rivers, etc. It's like a carved wood board painting, in a certain way very modern, and with no doubt very artistic. They are placed in the spirit house and replace our wrinting.
