I received this as a souvenir from Papua New Guinea 18 years ago. It is a spirit mask from Papua New Guinea. It is characterized by the texture of wood carving and an aged feel. Design: It features a long, protruding nose and eyes inlaid with cowrie shells. The overall abstract facial features are characteristic of tribal art style. Traditionally, it was used in tribal rituals and festivals to symbolize spirits and ancestral spirits. It has a hanging loop on the back and can be displayed as a wall hanging. Size: Approximately 52cm for the wooden part only, and approximately 12cm wide at the eyes. Please check the condition in the photos.
