Mid Century Oceanic Tribal Shield from Papua New Guinea

Mid Century Oceanic Tribal Shield from Papua New Guinea

$4,475.00

This striking shield was realized in Papua New Guinea, circa 1960. The rectangular form in unfinished nubuck hued hardwood has been inscribed with white curvilinear and geometric patterns. A small carved wood figurine adorns the top of the shield. The back has also been painted with a recurring diamond pattern in organic tan and black pigments. This is not only a compelling object, with a robust spiritual aura, but a compelling object that would be a perfect addition to virtually any style of interior from classically inspired to ultra contemporary. This piece is documented in the Sotheby's appraisal catalogue for Maxime Pines Estate from March 2013. Excellent vintage condition.
