A Ramu River dance mask, Papua New Guinea. Made from bark stretched over a wooden frame, decorated with a mane of long rattan around its edges. The center of the mask is decorated with feathers in a line from the forehead to the tip of the long, trunk-like nose. Woven twigs form a dese border around the edges of the mouth, while thin strips of bark create patterns on the face. Alternating white and red pigment gives the face a tattooed appearance. Length 170 cm, width 76 cm, depth 50 cm
