Shield
The narrow, elongated decorative shield is adorned with carvings and paintings in white, red and black pigments. In the centre, two heads mirror one another on the horizontal axis, which are - depicted with earrings and a triangular-shaped headdress pointing upward - completely identical. Shields of this kind were worn at ceremonial dances in the northwest of New Britain. They were closely related to ancestor worship and belief in spirits.
