This ancestral wood figure is from the Abelam people of Papua New Guinea. Measuring only 9.5” in height, it is very unusual because of its small stature. Natural pigments are still evident. The bottom appears carved into two points and there is a hole through the wood about 1” up from the bottom that is plugged with the remnants of a wooden cross piece that has been broken off. Please see photos below. From the 1940s.  #2267  $750
