POTEAU DE CASE
HOUSE POLE
DESCRIPTIF / DESCRIPTION :
Superbe poteau de case Kwoma. L'intérieur de ces cases est toujours richement décoré d'objets peints (écorces et figures) mais aussi de très imposants poteaux sculptés montrant des visages d'ancêtre et des calaos. Ce poteau faisait partie d'une maison située en haut d'une colline. A sa destruction, le poteau a été poussé dans le ravin du dessous. La photo de ce bas de page montre l'endroit où il était lorsqu'on me l'a montré. Bois, pigments.
