Description: | This is a board from the wall of a men's house. In New Guinea, men's houses are communal centres, from which are excluded women and young men who have not been initiated into society. The walls of men's houses are often decorated with boards, carvings and paintings. The style of the carving is very typical of the Papuan Gulf region of Papua New Guinea. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East other cultures | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
