CROCHET DE SUSPENSION
FOOD HOOK
DESCRIPTIF / DESCRIPTION :
Crochet de suspension représentant un personnage mythique stylisé. Les crochets de suspension sont accrochés aux rondins constituant la structure des cases dans ou sous la maison. Les bilums (sacs papous traditionnels), paniers tressés, et autres récipients remplis de nourriture, ainsi que les armes, y sont suspendus. Cela aide à conserver les objets fragiles ou sacrés de la vermine.
