Baining Dance Costume, Tribal Art, Oceanic Art, Papua New Guinea, Oceania, 133 Cm
Part of the Baining ethnic costume. This type of coverall is worn at the same time as these immense initiation masks exhibited around a fire of embers. Made of the same beaten bark, it hides the sex with a white corolla and adorns the dancer with a tail. The base transforms this costume element into a decorative object with a very contemporary design. Tapa (beaten paper mulberry bark), bamboo, wood, recycled rubber, plant fibers. Traces of use. Sold with its base. Field photos by Serge GUIRAUD. Approx. 133 x 30 x 30 cm / €220 base and shipping included.
