This is a carved wood Ancestor Ancestor Spirit Figure from the Blackwater Water Region, Papua New Guinea. The figures of ancestor spirits are made of carved wood and cowrie shells for eyes. These figures are used by cultures such as the Iatmul and the Sawos, who live in the Middle Sepik River region of New Guinea. The figures usually represent significant deceased family members, although among the Sawos they also represent supernatural spirits known as waken or wan. A wonderful item to display in your home or add to your collection.
