At the apex, stylized ancestral figures stand prominently with fibrous ear embellishments, gripping ritual spears and bows. The composition is heavily anchored at the base by a detailed crocodile motif., a powerful symbol of strength, spiritual protection, and regional mythology in Asmat culture, The entire piece is rendered in a deep natural espresso finish, higlighted by fine incised lines that give the relief work texture and dimension.
