EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate Dance mask Elema from Orokolo, Papua New Guinea, dating back to the late 19th century. The mask, measuring 40x20x20cm, is crafted from bamboo, vegetable fibers, tapa, and pigments, showcasing the rich artistic traditions of the region.
Displayed at the Musee de l'hospice Saint-Roch in Issoudun as part of a donation by the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart in 2000, this piece is a testament to the cultural heritage and craftsmanship of Papua New Guinea. The detailed design and vibrant colors reflect the creativity and skill of its creators.
The Dance mask Elema serves as both a decorative object and a symbol of tradition and identity for the people of Orokolo. It represents their connection to nature, spirituality, and community through dance rituals that have been passed down through generations.
Through this photograph by Jean Bernard, we are transported to another time and place where artistry flourished in harmony with nature. The beauty and complexity of this mask invite us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its cultural significance within Papua New Guinean society.
