Description

Painted wood carving of a skin cutting figure. A horn-billed bird, a male with large genitalia wearing a white mask with grass hair, and a small crocodile with curled barbed tail are stretched out, one behind the other, and clinging to the bottom of an inverted canoe with a carved crocodile head prow. All figures are adorned with shell eyes, twisted grass bracelets and anklets, and they are decorated with white, red, and ochre designs over a dark brown background, as is the canoe.
