This ancient and elegant piece is a roof spire from a Middle Sepik ceremonial house. Represented is a heron carrying away a woman — a classic Sepik River creation figure. This example has withstood several generations of use sitting atop the highest point of the ceremonial house — as evidenced by the extensive weathering and erosion. The piece is 38 ½" in height with a 36" wingspan and the price is available upon request. Questions?
