全部拍賣 / Ethnographic / Finely crafted yam mask from Wosera - Papua New Guinea (No reserve price)
In the field photos, comparable yam masks are depicted as in use. The light yam root is a staple food in almost all of Oceania. Especially in New Guinea, in the Maprik Hills north of the Sepik River, the Abelam and Wosera tribes have developed a pronounced cult around these yam roots: the aim is to harvest as large roots as possible. The largest yam roots are awarded in competitions. At religious harvest Thanksgiving festivals, the larger yams from the previous harvest are then adorned with interwoven masks that are called ‘Baba mini.’ In addition, the roots are decorated with ornaments and painted. In this ceremonial attire, the roots transform, in the imagination of the Abelam and Wosera, ritually and temporarily into benevolent ancestors or spirits. No shipping to Austria, Denmark and USA!!!
