Máscara, valle del río Ramu, Papúa-Nueva Guinea Altura: 63 cm Madera y conchas. Las máscaras del valle del río Ramu se cuentan entre las expresiones más destacadas del arte de Papúa Nueva Guinea. Destinadas a ceremonias y rituales, encarnaban a seres ancestrales o espirituales cuya presencia se invocaba durante las grandes celebraciones comunitarias. Este hermoso ejemplar destaca por la fuerza de su escultura (tallada en piedra) y por sus ojos con incrustaciones de concha, cuyo brillo confiere a la mirada una intensidad extraordinaria. El equilibrio de sus volúmenes, la sobriedad de su composición y la calidad de su tallado ilustran el talento de los artistas de la región, cuyas obras se reconocen hoy en día como unas de las más impactantes del arte oceánico. (Sin peana). Procedencia: Galería Holger Braun, Alemania.
