Painting. Melanesia, Papua-New Guinea, East Sepik, Wosera-Gau, village of Melawei, Kwoma people, ca. 1991-1992. Motiv associated with a "Spirit of the trees" (?). The painted Les petiols served traditionally as decorations of the interior of the roof of ceremonial kurumbu houses. The ensemble of images formed through their accumulation covered the entire ceiling and represented a kind of book of the Kwoma world. Each painting can refer to a natural being (plant, animal), to a spirit or a figure tied to myths. Leaves of sago-tree palms, 138 x 46 x 12 cm. Inv. 72.1993.1.130.
