Object description

Målning på Sagopalms bark, vita, röda och gula geometriska mönster mot brun botten. Föreställande en antropomorf stiliserad figur i abstrakt utförande. I båda ändar har hål borrats för upphängning. Enl. Mörner föreställer målningen Tamberan, djävulen och har använts som prydnader i ceremonihus och andehus.

(Mörner syfter nog på Haus Tambaran, vilket är andehuset dit bara initierade fick gå och ett annat namn på barkmålningen kan vara Pangals, vilka berättar en klanhistoria enl. Winter).

Mycket skör.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
