Description
* IATMUL, MIDDLE SEPIK, PAPUA NEW GUINEA,
Wooden dugout canoe with a brown patina and carved with a beautiful crocodile head showing particularly expressive sharp teeth. It is also decorated with engravings highlighting a pair of bulging eyes with highly dissuasive pupils, followed by an engraved face. It is a reminder of the importance of the crocodile in the culture of the Sepik River, and in particular among the Iatmul people. Plinth.
