Escudo asmat, Papúa Occidental, Papúa Nueva Guinea Altura: 139 cm Madera y pigmentos. Este extraordinario escudo destaca por la profundidad de su tallado y la riqueza de su policromía, que aún se conserva en gran medida. Las figuras ancestrales y los motivos que adornan su superficie dan testimonio del vigor de las tradiciones artísticas asmat, en las que estos escudos ocupaban un lugar esencial en la protección simbólica y la afirmación de la identidad del grupo. La calidad de su ejecución lo convierte en un bello ejemplo de una de las tradiciones escultóricas más importantes de Nueva Guinea. Procedencia: Subasta, EE. UU.
