The Kwoma People of the Washkuk Hills have traditionally been part of the unique rituals that are centered on the cultivation of yams. Feasts and rituals were organized yearly to celebrate the events around the harvest, and to ensure the edibility and purity of the yams. The sculpting of giant heads is part of those rituals. The sculpting of wood is considered a task that ensures that the object created is a suitable dwelling-place for ancestral and natural forces and were often produced to be displayed at shield festivals during yam festivals. The Parallel lines represents a protective family spirit. A wonderful item to add to your home or collection.
