Woven Dolls and Pig Fetishes from Papua New Guinea

In 1845, at the first recorded European landing by a party from the HMS Fly, Gulf villagers lived in communal longhouses. These were up to 30 feet wide (10 meters), 30-40 feet high (10-12 meters) and hundreds of feet long.

The house shape resembled a woven pig. Kiwai Island people say that the spirit of the first man to die went ahead of the people to plant gardens. Then he transformed himself into an giant pig, split himself open and spread out his sides to make a house for them.
Woven Dolls are hung from the ceiling to protect from enemies and spirits, usually Represents an Ansestor Spirit.
