Malangan Figure

I came across this Malangan figurine from New Ireland in Papua New Guinea while touring the Sedgwick Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Cambridge. Since I have some Irish ancestors, I thought that I would see if we have anything in common . . .

This photo was taken by a Kowa Super 66 medium format film camera with a KOWA 1:3.5/55 lens and Kowa L39•3C(UV) ø67 filter using Ilford Delta 3200 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.

From the looks of his attire, it seems that he is probably from a different Irish county than my ancestors came from . . .
