ANCESTOR FIGURE 

Ramu River, Papua New Guinea

Typical of these figures are the tall headress-like top with hooked forms descending. Then again, below the small beautifully executed face are more hooked forms. And, unusually there is another face below the arms, with hooked forms. The arms and legs are always slim and spindly.
