A Papuan Gulf Kakame figure on a stand.
These figures are carved from the roots of the mangrove tree, and represent powerful spirits that dwell in the bush in isolated swamps or at the ends of small Rivers. Kakame are highly revered clan totems and protective figures.
This female figure dates to the early to mid-20th century and measures 67 cm high by 30 cm wide.

ABSTRACT:
Norwegian doctoral researcher and published PNG historian Jan Hasselberg will present the following:
The great number of historical photo collections from PNG around the world is quite unique.

Heroes and Spirits in Cannes
From Jul 05 2019 to Oct 27 2019
CANNES—In collaboration with the city of Cannes, the Musée de la Castre is presenting Héros et esprits de Nouvelle-Guinée (Heroes and Spirits of New Guinea), an exhibition that features some forty photographs taken by insatiable adventuress Wylda Bayrón. Her series of portraits shows people from New Guinea wearing their elaborate costumes and extraordinary ornaments. A selection of traditional Melanesian objects is also on hand, complementing and enhancing the photos and providing context for the lively or even apocalyptic imagery by the New York–based photographer. Her work captures societies in transformation that persevere with their ancestral traditions while their traditional lifeways are under constant threat. The remarkable men and women her lens captures challenge the viewer, revealing aspects of these individuals without completely penetrating their mysterious universe. The exhibition is on view from July 5–October 27, 2019, and was produced under the supervision of Chris Boylan. From:
