Mother and Children Wooden Sculpture

This mother and children wooden sculpture is beautifully carved in Asmat style. One child is nursing, another is attached to her back, and a third is seated, supporting the nursing sibling. The sculpture is painted with white lime, the red from earth that symbolize traditional scarification marks, and black accents from charcoal that represent their hair. This piece reflects the nurturing role of motherhood and the interconnectedness of family in Asmat culture.
