Poteau de case / House post. Ancien poteau de case biface. Ce poteau a été un élément porteur d'une case de cérémonie. Toutes les cases de la vallée de fleuve Sépik sont construites sur pilotis en prévision des crues annuelles. Bois erodé par le temps et l'usage.

Les cases de cérémonies sont régulièrement reconstruites. Les poteaux, plus résistants que les matériaux légers constituant le toit, les parois et les planchers peuvent être réutilisés. Cependant, dans le cas où ces cases sont définitivement abandonnées, il est possible de les acquérir, ce que j'ai fait pour ce spécimen.

Chaque poteau ou poutre est sculpté par un des clans du village qui y représente ses ancêtres et animaux totémiques. Old ceremonial house post with faces side to side.

This post made part of ceremonial house as a piles. Wood eroded by time and used. This post was part of the structure of a ceremonial house.

This hard wood sculpture is an exceptional piece. The ceremonial houses are regularly rebuilt.

Poles, which are stronger than the light materials that make up the roof, walls and floors, can be reused. However, in case these "haustambaran" are definitively abandoned, it is possible to acquire them, which I did for this specimen. Each post or beam is carved by one of the clans of the village who represents its ancestors and totemic animals. Taille / Size : 215 x 34 x 29 cm.

Région / Area : Village de Kanangara / Kananagara village. Pays / Country : Papouasie Nouvelle Guinée / Papua New Guinea.
