at the harn

so right now at the harn there is an exhibit called "cultivating spirits: the art of sepik river yam display." it has some artifacts from the kwoma and nukuma tribes of papa new guinea that they use during their yam harvest ceremonies. i know its not a moka, and i dont think they are from the mt. hagen region, but its really neat and pretty close so i figured id post it. anyways here is a link: http://www.harn.ufl.edu/harn.php?ThisPage=harn.php&category=2&subcat=a

some of the mask have dual colors going on, so i made some sketches of them...
