The Shape
  • Form follows material
Papua sculpture mostly using wood, although it is possible the use of other materials such as stone. Wood is often more widely available and can be selected in the forest types are more appropriate. To pour the desired shapes by the artist, sometimes resembling wood that has been obtained that desire. It is easier for an artist's work and because we get a lot of forms of sculptural works that resemble trees (standing or fallen), branching trees, and other milestones.
For example is mbis statues and sculptures from the Asmat toleruno from Sentani shaped upright branching tree structure and consist of a variety of human figures standing-decker bunk as a ghost picture. Bodies erect slender, long hands and feet on the structure of the composite statue is a high demand of wood materials. Boat body called me uranum-shaped Manjang fallen tree decorated with human forms and animals that tend to be short body, but the legs and folded arms stretched forward following the direction of the wood lengthwise. Korwar or ancestor statue of West Irian-sea area use wood shaped iron monumental milestone.
  • Form follows the technical demands
The equipment used is simple. Sculpture and trimmer made ​​of stone or bone made ​​sharp. For intricate carvings used tool of teeth or spines animals and later with the ends flattened nails. Used for smoothing the field of animal skin polisher. It is precisely by means of a simple and produces great work, sometimes complex and aesthetically it shows technical ability.
Due to limitations of the equipment generally carved Asmat style rough, spontaneous, not crushed, the material is mostly hard wood. Roughness due to the limitations of the tool is precisely the characteristic, such as accidental.
Asmat sculptures seem more expresif, dynamic, tense and magical power. Magical power is the main goal of the creators of the statues that ancestor. Technical ability to create sculptures and fine nicks also exist, but the plastic figurines are small.
This type of equipment was quickly changes / developments after many relationships with the outside community and to meet other demands such buyer appeal, speed, quantity of production, etc., although suggestive of secularization. With new appliances (of iron) opens the possibility to achieve new capabilities in terms of working materials.
  • Types and styles

Decorative patterns found in many such sculptures in the cemen kerawangan mbis sculpture. Styles statue is symbolic and mostly plastic. Very rarely are naturalistic.
