CROCHET SAWOS
SAWOS HOOK
DESCRIPTIF / DESCRIPTION :
Très beau crochet de suspension collecté dans la région Sawos. 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 nourriture, objets fragiles ou sacrés de la vermine. Dans les maisons de cérémonie (haus tambaran), ils peuvent être plus élaborés et avoir une fonction rituelle, comme probablement celui-ci. Belle pièce d'art tribal océanien.
