Dimitri André

This is an rare and extraordinary painted DukDuk dance costume with feathers from the Tolai people of the Rabaul area of New Britain, the largest island in the Bismarck Archipelago of Papua New Guinea. 

Duk-Duk is a secret society, which has religious and political as well as social objectives. The Duk Duk represents a form of law and order through its presiding spirits. In ritual dances, members of the society invoke the male spirit DukDuk and female spirit Tubuan depending on which mask the dancer wears. The dancers are always male despite the fact that some are performing the role of female spirits. Women and children were forbidden to look at these figures. Both types of mask are cone-shaped and are constructed of cane and fiber, with short, bushy capes of leaves. 

This costume is complete with its original leafs (large ones on top) and feather plume.
Very rare to collect!

Height: 150 cm
Weight: 1800 grams
Included simple wooden stand (will be send separate)
Local pick-up possible, shipping costs will then be refunded.

Careful registered sending
