This is a wonderful Old Hand Painted Wood Tambanum Mask from the Tambanum Village, East Sepik Region, Papua New Guinea. During initiations, the elder who wears the mask becomes a spirit teacher who may say the important totemic names without evoking personal risk. He tells and calls out names for use in magic, for healing and for other spiritual uses. These names number in the thousands and only powerful men have this knowledge. This is very unique mask and would be a wonderful addition to your collection or home.
