This is a wonderful painted Bark Panel made the Kwoma Tribe of Papua New Guinea. The bark like panels are made from sago petioles, the lower portion of the leaves of the sago palm tree. After the petiole is cured and flattened, the artist covers the smooth side with a wash of black clay. The main outlines of the design are laid out in clear water, retraced in paint, and then filled in with color and other pigments. The semi naturalistic designs represent people, animals, or other natural phenomena associated with the village clans. This Bark Panel would be a wonderful addition as home decor or a gift to give to someone special.
