Description
Carved male figure, seated on a stool, in wood and decorated with zigzag, wavy and spiral carvings filled with lime. Hunt, 1981, p11, 'Free-standing sculpture from South-East New Guinea is rare and its function unknown. This figure and 59 closely resemble the carving of lime spatulae 47 and 48 and may represent the work of one man. The spatulae are unused, and the carvings seem designed for admiration rather than utility.'
