This is typically SEPIK / Papua New Guinee.
I am not sure what kind of statue this is and if it is a original / traditional object. But the style of the faces is sepik. Best regards, Willem |

My Mrs. is quite fond of Sepik art. She has a mask and a little statue and a yam mask. |

There are exceptions, indeed. I must admit that a few of our members are lucky with such a Mrs. Keep admire her and bring flowers!!
 For the other 99% of the forummembers: it is international.

Hello,
have to agree with Willem, it's a Sepik carving. Carefully worded I would guess it's a recent carving. Old ones more basic. Happy that I belong like Willem to the 1%! sajen |
