New Caledonian Ghost Mask
This is a replica of a New Caledonian Ghost Mask, which were worn during a funeral when a chief died. The image is meant to reflect one of the powerful gods in New Caledonia. The exhibit was found in Maidstone Museum, Kent. I took this photo about a year ago, so maybe it's still there.I'll admit that I was tempted to title the photo as "Marge?", but thought better of it. I don't want to be struck down by whatever powerful god the mask represents, or being hunted down by a raging Homer Simpson.May 31, 2024
