Story Board Wood Carving Papua New Guinea Kambot Village Culture and Folklore

Story Board Wood Carving Kambot Village Asian Culture and Folklore. The Story Board is hand-carved, and tells a story of the village life of these indigenous people.

The Story Board has relief carvings of a village along the river bank, with houses and people. There are trees, foliage, and animals. In the river, and central to the Story Board, is a boat with paddlers and animals. Also in the river is a crocodile figure and many fish. This is a wonderful carved wood Story board from the Kambot Tribe of Papua New Guinea.

The Story board was acquired in trade in 1984 from native villagers. Story boards are a tradition of the Kambot Tribe in the lower Sepik region. A storyboard is a carved wooden board which literally tells a story. Story board themes include village life, adventures and encounters with wild animals and spirits. Storyboards are displayed in Haus Tambarans (men's houses) as decorations.

The storyboard is finished with a natural wax from the milk of the Kapiak Tree while the details are picked out by white lime and ochers. Story boards are unique and one of a kind in a fascinating three dimensional design and that began in the 1960's as a replacement for bark boards and were too fragile to last. This story board has a woven handle for hanging, is unique and would make a wonderful wall decoration for your home or your office. This storyboard is in excellent condition. There is a hanging wire across the back.
