Vertaling bekijkenGarra snijwerk 102 cm - Hunstein Sepik - Papoea-Nieuw-Guinea (Zonder Minimumprijs)
Nr. 90475325
The garra carvings were kept inside the men’s cult house except when the village was going to be empty and vulnerable to strangers coming. Then they were hidden in deep pools to protect them from both human visitors and the ravages of insects and rot. They were also brought out for a short time at the culmination of a boys’ initiation ceremony. “Seeing the garra” was the central supernatural focus of the initiation, partly because seeing them was thought to make the boys into stronger young men. Before that was done, all women and young children were sent to the far end of the village.
