STORYBOARD, PAPUA NEW GUINEA

I collected this massive ( aprox 39" x 46") storyboard myself on an expedition to Papua New Guinea. It was purchased in Kambot Village--which is a tributary of the Sepik River in northeastern PNG--in the mid 1980's and been in my personal collection ever since.

It's made of solid wood, 1" to 2" thick and very heavy.

Traditionally, storyboards tell of village life and/or village legends. The piece is very detailed, hand-carved and has excellent relief. Value: $1500.
