Object description

Skulptur skuren ur ett stycke trä. Sittande människofigur med bågformigt böjda ben och ett stort opropertionerligt hjälmformat huvud. Framför sig håller figuren en platta/tavla med en mänsklig figur utskuren. Är enligt Mörner en gudabild från Nordkusten.

Figuren är med största sannolikhet en Korwar, som har sitt ursprung i Geelvink Bay-området, i den del av Papua som nu tillhör Indonesien. Korwar var det fysiska medium med vars hjälp man kommunicerade med sina förfäder.

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.
