• Lot Description:
  An Omu Figure, North West Asmat
  Irogo Village, Jerep River NW Asmat; an unusual form with both female and male genitalia. Omu is the name of the type of spirit figure and the ceremony that it belongs. The Omu ceremony only happens in a few small villages in the remote NW Asmat Area. I made many trips to the Asmat during the years 1985-1999 staying several months each trip. This was at a time when the area was mostly closed to foreigners. I made collections of artworks for many public major museum collections around the world." - Todd Barlin*See attached field photo.
