This is a fine and old doorboard from the Telefomin area, West Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea. Locally these are called "amitung" and were used on local houses as the entry door with the occupants entering and leaving their houses through the hole at the base of the board. This is a nice older example with a classic design and strong remains of orange, white and black pigments. The doorboard is carved from a hardwood and shows extensive age and use by the substantial wear at the base of the door’s threshold. The piece dates to the 1940s, is 122" in height and sells for $5000. Questions?
