Ancestor
Figure
Keram River, PNG
19th century
This haunting figure from the Keram River is a perfect example of how
nature can serendipitously bring out an object’s raw essence. The
sweeps and curves of the body produce a beautiful flow and rhythm throughout
the sculpture. This stone carved ancestor figure has a wonderful eroded
patina with areas of encrustation from decades of exposure and use.
This figure stands 19.5 inches tall.
