The Mvaï ancestor statue is an important cultural and artistic object from the culture of the Kwoma, an indigenous group in Papua New Guinea. These statues are often made of wood and are used in rituals and ceremonies, symbolizing the connection between the living and their ancestors.
The Mvaï figurines often represent ancestors and are venerated in ceremonies that are aimed at honoring and remembering these figures. They are often decorated with complex patterns and symbols that have deeper meanings within the Kwoma culture.
