Art as Contact with Ancestors: Visual Arts of the Kamoro & Asmat of Western Papua (Bulletins of the Royal Tropical Institute)

Combining cultural information embedded in myths and rituals with an investigation of various design elements and comparing Asmat and Kamoro data, results in innovative interpretations resonating the int
