A Superb Old New Guinea Food Bowl Eastern Highlands Province Papua New Guinea

A Superb Old New Guinea Food Bowl from the Eastern Highlands Province Papua New Guinea

This beautiful form of Food Bowl called Jompa was collected in Korofeigu Village in the Bena Bena area in the Eastern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea in 1961 by the anthropologist Lewis Langness.

The shape of the bowl is a sculptural form of great beauty, both the front & back views are as good as the other. The bowl has a deep black shiny patina from decades of use and storage in a smokey traditional house environment.

Provenance: Collected in 1961 by the anthropologist Lewis Langness

The Todd Barlin Collection of Oceanic Art

See my new EXHIBITIONS GALLERY  showing the Museums and Art Galleries Exhibitions that I provided artworks for over the past 40 years. There is the link to the article about my artworks published in the prestigious Louvre Magazine in 1996

I have artwork for Museums and art Galleries but also for collectors at every stage of their collecting. I want to encourage people to explore the fine art of New Guinea & West Papua and the Pacific Islands and to be able to see and touch the artworks in a relaxed and friendly manner in my Sydney Gallery. I would like to invite you to visit my gallery and see the artworks in person and also look at my website www.oceanicartsaustralia.com where there are many Galleries & Sub Galleries to explore.

My Gallery of nearly 40 years is the last physical gallery in Sydney that specializes in New Guinea and Oceanic Art.  Sydney is very close to New Guinea & the Pacific Islands where all of these amazing artworks came from, Australia’s closest neighbors.
