Early 20th C. PNG Painted Wood Shield - Creature

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $400**

Papua New Guinea, Sepik River region, ca. early to mid 20th century CE. A large wooden shield with an overall rectangular composition and finely-carved details. Central to the obverse side is an abstract depiction of a dual-ended creature with a mutual midsection. Each half of the creature has two arms with human-form hands, an elongated neck which forks into two multi-branched projections, and a lobed head with four upturned, tendril-like horns. The figure itself is outlined in black with accompanying red details atop a white ground. Abstract geometric designs adorn the peripheral edges of the shield, and two small drilled perforations have a desiccated strand of leather fed through for suspension. The verso is unadorned, smooth to the touch, with a light-brown patina enveloping the surface. Size: 10.25" W x 31.625" H (26 cm x 80.3 cm).
