NAUSUNG MASK Melanesia, Papua New Guinea, Bismarck Archipelago, New Britain, Kilengé region 20th century Wood, pigments, plant fibers, and cassowary feathers H. 70 cm – W. 35 cm Provenance: - Formerly John Vallilio, Surfers Paradise, Australia, 1991. - Acquired from Galerie Meyer on June 13, 1991, no. 1259. The invoice and certificate of origin will be provided to the purchaser. Exhibition and Publication: - OCEANIA No. 9. THE HUMAN ELEMENT IN THE ART OF NEW GUINEA. Galerie Meyer, Paris, 1991, Fig. 1. The Nausung mask is associated with the descendants of the hero Moro, the creator of the world, represented, among other things, by a serpent’s body and a human face. The Nausang mask, likely originally related to the tago mask from the Huon Gulf region on the other side of the Vitiaz Strait—which separates New Britain from the main island of New Guinea—plays an essential role in the initiation rituals for young boys.
