Asmat Cross

The Asmat people incorporate their rich cultural heritage and traditional woodcarving techniques into religious symbols, such as the Christian cross, blending indigenous beliefs and ancestral aesthetics with Christianity. This cultural fusion is especially evident in the way they carve the Jesus cross, embedding motifs, patterns, and forms that reflect Asmat cosmology, spiritual narratives, and the importance of ancestor worship.
