Art-Pacific Home | Site map | Who We Are: Ron Perry and Carolyn Leigh > Collecting in the Wosera, late 1980's
Ron Perry and Carolyn Leigh in the hill country of the Maprik-Wosera area, part of the East Sepik Province of Papua New Guinea, in the late 1980's - we are a bit grayer now!
The painted sago bark panels on the right (pangals) decorate this Abelam village's house fronts. The ancestral figures (Nggwalndu) on the left are from the men's Haus Tambaran. The pigments are almost all natural ones from the surrounding jungle.
More information on the Abelam and on New Guinea bark paintings in our Guide to Artifacts.
Collecting New Guinea art in the field since 1964.

Artifacts on this site are collected in the field by my husband, Ron Perry. I take the photographs, do the html, text and maps. More background in Who We Are. Art-Pacific has been on the WWW since 1996. We hope you enjoy our New Guinea tribal art and Indonesian folk art as much as we do. Carolyn Leigh, P.O.
