Sago Bowl, Papua New Guinea Diameter: 36 cm Terracotta and pigments. Used in the preparation of sago, a staple food in many regions of New Guinea, this bowl illustrates the refinement of Papuan utilitarian crafts. Its decoration, enhanced by pigments that are still well-preserved, elegantly enlivens the object’s surface and attests to the importance placed on domestic arts. Beyond its everyday function, it reflects the quality of local sculptural traditions, where aesthetics go hand in hand with utility. Provenance: American gallery.
