Importante collects ion privée européenne, acquis lors de cette vente

Cette frise malangan asymétrique, à l'iconographie classique, représente en son centre un oiseau calao dévorant un serpent. Ce thème, que l'on retrouve sur différentes familles de sculptures, représenterait la domination d'un clan sur ses ennemis. Parmi les frises de type comparable, celle-ci se distingue par la très belle ampleur de ses proportions.
