Description:
|
|
This chubwan mask is from Ambrym Island or Pentecost Island in Malampa, Vanuatu. Chubwan are carved from hardwood with a domed forehead and pierced septum through a bulbous nose. The nose reveals a long neglected practice on Pentecost of nasal piercing, or it may be a vulgar caricature of people from adjacent islands who continued this practice into the early twentieth century. Very little is actually known about the true purpose of chubwan as tradition associated with this mask ceased long ago. Formerly in the collection of Paul Penot.
