1915.02.1303 :: höftprydnad, dansmask

Object description

Höftprydnad/dansmask uppbygd på en stomme av bladribbor från kokospalm, lindad med rotting. I mitten ett ansikte täljt i växtmärg, förmodligen sagopalmsmärg. Ansiktet är målat med röd grundfärg och sedan övermålad med vit kalk så att röda mönster i typisk "Sepikstil" framträder. Ansiktet är omgärdat av en krans av fjorton böjda ribbor, vilka alla pryds med ngn. slags frukt och en cylinderformad växtmärgsbit, målad röd och vit. Nedanför ansiktet fortsätter stommen med sex långa bågformigt böjda ribbor som i änden pryds med en vit fjäder.

Masker likt denna bärs runt höften vid dans så att ansiktet är vänt bakåt.

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.
