Manam Island, Madang Province, Papua New Guinea

An ancient Manam garamut figure. Stone and shell carved form hard wood, the figure in classic pose with large coffee bean eyes. On the top of the conical head rests a second face and square pierced ears for attachments. Hard to tell if this is the male or female of the pair, due to there being old loss evident on the groin. A fantastic figure with a real presence. Mid 19th Century or earlier. Custom mounted.

Height: 36 cm or 14 inches.
