Object description

Sten Bergman (1895-1975) gjorde tre resor till Holländska Nya Guinea (nuvarande Irian Jaya, Indonesien) 1948-50, 1952-53, och 1956-59. Bergmans samlingar finns också vid Etnografiska Museet i Stockholm. Bergman publicerade flertalet reseskildringar om Nya Guinea. "Vildar och Paradisfåglar - Skildringar från en forskningsfärd till Nya Guinea"

(1950 ), "Stenålder och grön urskog" (1954), "Min far är kannibal" (1959). Samling 1961.19.1-112 kommer att döma av innhållet från den sista resan 1956-59. Samlingen skiljer på Casuarinkusten och Asmatområdet. I senare litteratur skiljer man på Asmat (Casuarinakusten och inlandet) och Nord Asmat som angränsar till Mimikaområdet Bergman besökte asmat-folk mellan Semendoro i sydöst till Jamas väst .

Asmat-folket bor kring floderna i området längst Casuarinen coast och Flamingo Bay i södra Irian Jaya. Asmat är kända för sin rika träsnidarkonst. Se Gerbrands (ed.) introduktion till " The Michael Rockefeller Expeditions 1961"

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.
