Papua New Guinea Bioma Spirit Figure Wapo/Era Gulf province

This highly animated figure is the work of an exceptionally gifted artist from the Wapo/Era area of the Gulf province of Papua New Guinea. Small silhouette figures of this type, called bioma, are usually placed near the floor within the men's ceremonial house in proximity to trophy skulls of pigs and crocodiles. Characteristically, bioma figures from this area are flat with two sets of limbs. The extraordinary vitality of this figure is a result of its having been cut from a curved slab of wood that was probably part of an old canoe.
