Item Details

Description

Old wooden "Canoe head" - Sepik - Papua New Guinea 1970 Wood 54 cm Old Sepik Canoe prow with a great mysterious cut-out head. Canoes are the primary mode of travel for the villagers in the Sepik River area, because there are so few roads exist. Once the canoe reached the point where it can no longer be repaired, or if the owner dies, they cut off the bow at pretty important canoes. This item was used every day for many decades in the Sepik river!
